Actually, every Linux system has Adobe utopia in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/. Or is this something different?
That means that X11 programs and ghostscript have access to the font
files, but not necessarily tetex - that should perhaps be changed.

Personally I favour shipping everything that's allowed, because it saves
me the effort of having to piece it together myself. I appreciate the
work Tom & others are doing there. Yes I prefer free software, but I am
primarily interested in a functional computer system. Religious reasons
are bad for technical judgement, IMHO.
