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,
