I guess Jindrich Novy, the > texlive packaged owner knows better than any of us, so I'm cc-ing him. It seems the tex-fonts-hebrew at least provides TEX context for some system fonts http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/devel/tex-fonts-hebrew/tex-fonts-hebrew.spec So proper packaging of Type1, TTF and OTF fonts would probably be something like this 1. normal foo-fonts system package that can be used by any font system, including TEX 2. tex-foo-fonts or foo-texfonts package that depends on foo-fonts and adds additionnal TEX files (without duplicating the font files themselves), with symlinks or references or whatever works in TEX 3. master TEX comps group or package that assembles all the foo-texfonts packages. Of course I know next to nothing about TEX so I'd be a lot happier if people like Jonathan Underwood wrote the whole TEX font packaging rules in my stead. -- Nicolas Mailhot
