Installing ITRANS (is a big pain in the ass)
(I am sure there is a better way than what I have described below.
But this worked for me so I DON'T CARE.  But if you have the patience
to try and tell me how, then I would be grateful.)

1. Make a soft link in the texmf/tex/latex dir to the ITRANS lib.
   ln -s /usr/local/itrans53/lib /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/itrans

2. cd /usr/local/itrans53/lib
   cp FONTS.SCALE fonts/fonts.scale
   [edit the fonts.scale file and remove the comments in it]
   ttmkfdir >> fonts.scale
   mkfontdir
   xset fp+ /usr/local/itrans53/lib/fonts/

3. cat psfont.map >> /etc/texmf/dvips/psfonts.map

4. cd /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/
   mkdir itrans
   cd itrans
   cp /usr/local/itrans53/lib/fonts/*.afm .
   cd ../../tfm
   mkdir itrans; cd itrans
   cp /usr/local/itrans53/lib/fonts/*.tfm .
   cd ../../../metafont
   mkdir itrans; cd itrans
   cp /usr/local/itrans53/lib/fonts/*.mf .
   texhash

This should do it.  Good Luck.
