Dear lazyweb,
I'm a complete font n00b. How does one install Type1 fonts as part of a Debian package in such a way that:
- The package is policy-compliant
- Ghostscript will find the fonts
- The fonts really live in /usr/share/pmw/psfonts/
PMW, which I'm packaging for Debian, includes Type1 postscript fonts that it absolutely cannot live without; and while it's possible to create a .ps file from pmw that includes those fonts, by default it does not, so it's generally useful to put those fonts somewhere that ghostscript can find them. Only I know squat about how ghostscript finds fonts, and just adding a symlink /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/pmw -> ../../../pmw/psfonts (as was suggested to me on IRC) does not seem to do the trick.
Thanks,
