One problem here is that the readme.utopia we have on CTAN is not present in the CVS of both X.org and Xfree. Therefore the Debian maintainer of xfonts-scalable-nonfree (which is already in non-free) decided to not include the Utopia fonts at all. But see also: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=229713 It is quite odd that on the one hand Adobe says that all the rights are with the X consortion, while on the other hand there is no license information what so ever from X.org or Xfree. cheerio ralf
