Have you tried to get your glyphs included into DejaVu ? (dejavu.sf.net). I ask this because dejavu is currently the most dynamic FOSS font project, and getting your stuff there would automatically warrant inclusion in most major Linux distributions. Speaking with my Linux packager hat on, specialized niche fonts are a major PITA to find and package, having a single consistent font with good coverage is much better. And I know getting stuff in dejavu is easy, last time someone made a public glyph request it was in in 15 days. They have a monthly release schedule. (of course this will require retooling since they have to use public tools like fontforge, but you'll be better of in the long term unless you absolutely want to pay Adobe licenses forever) Dejavu already aggregated the products of several font projects (welsh, cyrillic) that started like you with language niche efforts.
