MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ Open Type fonts via MikTex

[yaakov]

hi everybody,

try to get open type fonts into my tex-compilation. read lots of guides, but i am kinda stuck:

i know there are two ways... either using xelatex or get the font converted.

1. i got the myriad adobe font in the *.oft format and need to convert it. what is the easiest way doing this? by the way, i got the metrics, etc. from an external page (http://home.vr-web.de/was/fonts.html). as i understand that right, i only need the proper .pfb files ?!?

2. using xelatex: as i understand that, i can use special commands in my preambel. what are these commands? can i compile it directly with texnicscenter via the 'latex->dvi' button?


thanks for your help in advance!

cheers Yaakov

PS: im using MikTex 2.8, texnicscenter 1.0RC1 @ windows7 ultimate
