Debian Adding Fonts
Fonts listed in Fonts section
Fonts can be added to Debian by installing the appropriate package; fonts are specified in the “Fonts” section.
Open Font Library - font formats
We recommend that you submit fonts in the OpenType format.
You probably do not need to worry about other formats at all, because OpenType encloses and extends both TrueType and PostScript Type 1, and it is currently the normal font format for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
