The only tex-gyre package that I could find for Arch linux is the
following:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40619
which obviously only contains the Opentype flavours. No wonder that
the fonts do not show up duplicated. ;)

I am not sure about this. Things seem to be wrong in the fonts
themselves as well. All the fonts I have checked have different
strings for Font Family and Fullname and in addition these differ
between Mac and Windows strings, e.g.:
$ fontlint
tex-gyre-2.004.1/fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/texgyretermes-regular.otf

No wonder that applications like LO or KDE get confused about this and
show the fonts randomly with or without spaces.
