Currently the OpenType versions of these fonts are not available to applications that use fontconfig (e.g. outside of the TeX universe).

It would be nice if the opentype fonts were installed under

/usr/share/fonts/opentype

instead of being squirreled away under /usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/opentype

A symbolic link would probably solve it also. Alternatively another work-around is to make /etc/fonts/local.conf
look like this:

<fontconfig>
<dir>/usr/share/texmf/fonts</dir>
</fontconfig>
