Hi, my idea is:
To control these things in fonts packages.
To use options, something like:
FONTS_WITH_GS, FONTS_WITH_TEX, FONTS_WITH_X, ...
If we just manager our fonts packages (not private fonts), this will
make thing simple.

About intlfonts package, I only could use theses fonts under X. :(
This is also true for all TrueType fonts.

About TrueType fonts packages, do we need to consider a common name rule?
It seems we will have more TrueType fonts packages in future.
How about this:
<trademark>-ttf-<version>
If they are language specific:
<locale name>-<trademark>-ttf-<version>

If we converter these fonts to Type1, then we can use:
<trademark>-type1-<version>
or
<locale name>-<trademark>-type1-<version>

Please comment, thanks. :)
