Hmm, you mean allowing the installation of texlive-lang-german together
with tetex3, but add a README that if you use the levy fonts, you should
either copy x.mf from the texmf-texlive to /usr/share/texmf of
/usr/local/share/texmf or the working directory?

I am not very fluent in using greek, can you write one short paragraph I
would put into the README.Debian file for texlive-lang-greek and then I
could make it tetex3 compatible.

BTW, thanks for testing this. In fact the next generation of packges
could in principle ALL (ok nearly all) be used with tetex as they are
installed into different trees. The next version will move 90% of the
stuff from texmf to texmf-texlive, as discussed.

No, in texlive there is only the x.mf as it is in tl-lang-greek.

Best wishes

TYNE and WEAR (nouns)
The 'Tyne' is the small priceless or vital object accidentally dropped
on the floor (e.g. diamond tie clip, contact lens) and the 'wear' is
the large immovable object (e.g. Welsh dresser, car-crusher) that it
shelters under.
