OK I used this guide and have access to one of the fonts in
/usr/share/fonts/Type1 but not the rest. Courier is in the database.
AGaramond is not. The wiki paper seems to state that Type1 fonts
should be available via the database and \simplefonts. AGaramond is in
the
/usr/share/fonts/Type1
directory and is listed in the
/usr/share/fonts/Type1/fonts.dir
file. It does not show up in the mtxrun generated data base.
set shows the following entry:
OSFONTDIR='/usr/share/fonts;/home/safe/.fonts'
Now if Type1 isn't included the font data base yet I can be cool with
that. But in that case the wiki needs to be corrected.
