[Pkg-fonts-devel] How to make font packages

Hello!

I have some TTF fonts I want to use on different machines, so I want to 
package them.

I want to save the procedure of getting through all the manual font 
integration. Per user settings are not pratical for me.

I've found some tutorials about installing fonts with Google, but they 
diverge, are partially outdated and often have comments like "there is 
some magic behind this commands that won't be explaned here" or "I don't 
exactly know if this is the best way, but it worked for me". So I have 
no idea where to find The Definitive Guide to Install Fonts in Debian 
(Now with all the Details). That is, this is what I'm looking for.

For now I'd be very glad if someone could point me to a document which 
tells me how to build font packages, or how to install fonts properly, 
and how fonts are handled in Debian.

Thanks

Patrick
