Thanks, Liam for the tips. The command (run as root) 

fc-cache -fv

produced this output;

But, alas, I still don't see any true-type fonts available in Gnome or
its applications. I looked in the desktop configuration, Abiword, and
Gnumeric for the new fonts. I also tried to log out and in again to
Debian both as root and as a normal user, but no success.

Any additional suggestions??

Thanks, again
