My /etc/fonts/font.conf has

<!-- Font directory list -->

        <dir>/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype</dir>
        <dir>/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype</dir>
	<dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
	<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir> <dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir>
	<dir>~/.fonts</dir>

But the problem was this (multiple instances of freefont):

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-freefont/+bug/667242

Please help out by logging on to launchpad and click on "Does this bug
affects you?" and choose "Yes" for the above URL.

Other question, would it be OK to equip TeX Live installer with a
question to add

        <dir>/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype</dir>
        <dir>/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype</dir>

or whatever is appropriate to either the begining or ending of the dir
list in /etc/fonts/font.conf ?
