The texlive packages that Jindrich Novy has been working on install TeX-related fonts under /usr/share/fonts with symbolic links to them from the texmf tree. Is this policy mandated by Fedora? Here's the problem: with a full texlive installation, one gets hundreds of texlive-XYZ sub-directories and thousands of font files. There's very little likelihood of any of these being used by any non-TeX application, yet every use of, say, ps2pdf, is significantly delayed by having to search through all of these directories and fonts. I'd prefer that *none* of the texlive-XYZ-fonts files were installed under /usr/share/fonts but the installation policy prevents me from just doing sudo rm -rf /usr/share/fonts/texlive-* I've resorted to re-building the ghostscript packages so that /usr/share/fonts *isn't* in the default search path. Would it be feasible to install the files in the texmf tree with symbolic links from /usr/share/fonts? Then a user could remove the links from /usr/share/fonts if they didn't want them.
