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

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

I am wondering if texhash looks for fonts and if so if it configured to
see the path. Something for the experts...

I would NOT copy but only symlink so that an update (in /opt) will
automatically pull through.  Otherwise you have to remember to repeat
the copy.
