But Debian insisted that the fonts should be present in "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/". I dutifully followed these instructions by creating symlinks in that directory. But I was too chicken to point fc-cache to the symlinks. Since I am the only user, the offered KDE routine (pointed at the actual files in my home directory) worked perfectly and is adequate.
