Anyway: Revision 4 changed the search paths for mf, tfm, ... to comply to the TeX Directory standard.
.mf files are expected in texmf/fonts/source/<vendor>/<typeface>/<fontname>.mf or to be precise, they are searched in /usr/lib/texmf/fonts/source//, /usr/local/lib/texmf/fonts/source// and /var/spool/texmf/fonts/source// I'began writing a document describing the debian-TeX setup, but it is not ready for uploading (and won't be in the next few days because there is too much work here I'm paid for) Nils
