1. For FreeMonoBold the case is clear-cut: just add a dep on the canonical
package providing it and symlink it from there (but you probably want to wait
till bug #477336 is resolved)

2. for tvtimeSansBold you need to split it in a subpackage that conforms to
fonts packaging guidelines, and likewise make your main package depend on this
subpackage and symlink the file from here

(of course that's assuming the special icons are worth it)

If you decide to drop the icons, the second subpackage is not necessary (we
won't ship tvtimeSansBold at all) and you probably also want to think on
replacing FreeMonoBold by DejaVu Sans Mono Bold which will already be installed
on most user systems, bringing your download requirements even lower

(so depend on dejavu-sans-mono-fonts and symlink from here)
