On debian these are in the ttf-freefont package. These fonts don't
appear to be packaged separately for Fedora:

So:
- Should I package up the freefont package from
http://www.nongnu.org/freefont/ for FE? Seems easy enough. And perhaps
could reduce redundancy. I've CC'ed Rex Dieter who seems to have
packaged these at some point.
- Should I point plplot to a different set of fonts in Fedora? Suggestions?
Thanks!
