surely you also have gsfonts-x11 so that these fonts have actually been
made available to X as well ?

If you add xfonts-jmk you get a couple more nice fonts that are good for
monospace things.
I can't comment further as to how beautiful or not things should be just
using the packages, because both my laptop and home workstation also have
a batch of extra TTF fonts and ttf font services. But getting those URW
fonts (for ghostscript) made available to X is really important, since
they are metric equivalents to fonts considered normal in That Other OS.
