The *.tfm file may be misleading: for some non-free fonts, the *.tfm files
are installed by the "tex-support package" together with *.fd and *.sty.
However the actual font files (*pfa or similar) are not included but must be
installed separately.

Most fonts are contained in one package together with a supporting *.sty
file, sot we only need to check these.

Exceptions are the non-free fonts. We should check the "getnonfreefonts"
tool for hints.
