I'm not eager to add a configuration question - any such question further complicates and lengthens Debian's installation processes, so there should be good cause. In this case, since the fonts were designed to be drop in replacements of the original Times, Helvetica and Courier I do not see the problem with adding the Aliases. Could you let me know which concrete problem you're facing? I may consider lowering the priority - but I haven't found a reference for priorities yet. Do you have an indication of the scale of these priorities? Thijs
