R devel - Dec 2015 - URW Fonts Description in Installation and Administration Manual

Good day,

In section A.2, the manual advises "Linux users will want the urw-fonts
package". However, this package only seems to be available for RedHat Linux
and Fedora Linux. What about for Debian or Ubuntu ? There is no urw-fonts
package for them. Are there any other packages not mentioned that are important
for these two distributions ?

edd at max:~$ apt-cache search urw | grep texlive
texlive-fonts-recommended - TeX Live: Recommended fonts
texlive-fonts-extra - TeX Live: Additional fonts
edd at max:~$ 

Both packages list URW fonts promimently in their Description:

Humm... on a Debian system (mix of unstable and testing) that shows
nothing.  But


ramon at Bufo:~$ apt-cache search urw | grep tex
fonts-texgyre - OpenType fonts based on URW Fonts
tex-gyre - scalable PostScript and OpenType fonts based on URW Fonts
python-urwid-satext - collection of urwid widgets
ramon at Bufo:~$


shows two possibly relevant packages.


(Maybe this is a Ubuntu/Debian difference? I think Dirk has some machines
running Ubuntu).

Best,

R.
