Font (detection) problems (want to use a Garamond font)

[Eckhard Höffner]

Maybe it's because they are in /opt. I don't assume I'm right, but if 
you look a /etc/fonts/fonts.conf (or a subdirectory), /opt is not a 
usual fontpath.

fc-list | grep garamond

is another method.

Are other programs showing the fonts (e. g. libreoffice).

You can also copy the fonts you want (otf // ttf) to 
HOME/.local/share/fonts/ (or /usr/local/share/fonts); both should be in 
the font path of al programs.  My LyX and fontspec(debian) have no 
problems using the HOME-directory.
