As you saw already, these are packaged as mgopen-fonts.  The mgopen 
project, however, does not seem to be making any progress beyond the 
first release of the fonts.

I plan to package the above some time if noone beats me to it.  When the 
tetex->TeXLive dust settles, I plan to also package the TeX-related 
bindings.

There is a Kerkis package for TeX (tetex-font-kerkis).  Nowadays, the 
author of this font publishes TTF and OTF files, quite suitable for 
on-screen display.  The license, however, is a bit ambiguous, possibly 
even a removal candidate.  http://iris.math.aegean.gr/kerkis/ (see the 
License subsection).

A side question:  Does anyone have experience about packaging the same 
font both for X11 and TeX?  Do I need to include the same font files 
twice?  Create soft/hard links for efficiency?  Require one (X11) for 
the other (TeX)?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,
