Got it, thanks!

Apparently not :) I wasn't even aware I needed to (this is the level
of font understanding I'm coming from :). If defoma uses true type
fonts, why doesn't it suggest/recommend any true type font packages to
install? Determining which true type font package to install myself
isn't so obvious. Looks like any package starting with ttf- are true
type font packages. The only three that don't seem to be for another
language are the non-free larabie packages. Looking at the "list of
files", these seem to unpack into /usr/X11R6/X11/fonts/TrueType/ and
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ instead of into
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/.
Thanks of all your other comments.
