defoma and registering ttf fonts system wide

[T o n g <mlist4suntong@yahoo.com>]

Hi, 

I used to use defoma to register ttf fonts. Now that it's gone, how to 
register ttf fonts system wide now? 

A side question, I used to be able to find out why packages disappearing 
from the repo by querying it at http://packages.qa.debian.org/, now I 
can't. How can I know why packages get dropped from the repo? 

Thanks
