I think it's OK to put that document in place. Thanks a lot for this
work that was long awaiting.

About the location of files: I, myself, adopted the policy of moving
the files to /usr/share/fonts/fonttype/name instead of
/usr/share/fonts/fonttype/fonts-<foundry>-name

So, the Liberation fonts go to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation

It avoids cluttering /usr/share/fonts/truetype with dozens of
"fonts-foo" directories, imho.

I made that change to the place in "AndrewSomething" (I like your
nickname..;;:-))
