MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ Installing fonts

[Grant]

Hello, I'm using MikTex 2.8 for Windows as part of the ProText package and I found this template for a CV under XeLaTeX, which is included into MikTex. However, I have to install some additional fonts - Fontin:

However, I don't know how to install fonts to my present MikTex - all the manuals on the Internet give directions how to install specific types of fonts (Type1 is common) and no particular directions on how to install fonts in general. Could someone tell me how to do this?

I am using Windows Vista Home.

Cheers,
Deyan

For XeLaTeX, you can just use system fonts, i.e., fonts installed in the normal way for use with any other application for Windows. (E.g., look here.) That's probably the chief advantage of using XeLaTeX as opposed to regular pdf(la)tex. You don't need to do anything to get the fonts specifically installed for XeLaTeX in particular.

Thank you for your reply, but I still can't resolve my problem. I have downloaded the fonts and they are in Truetype format, where do I mut them in order to be able to use them?

Please look at the link I posted in my last message about installing fonts on windows.

Oh, yes, I missed that before. I installed the fonts as required, but TexWorks again seizes working because of an error with the fonts:

Code: Select all

Couldn't find `Baskerville:color=7878.cfg'

miktex-maketfm: No creation rule for font Baskerville:color=787878.

! Font \wm=Baskerville:color=787878 at 8.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file or
 installed font not found.
l.45 \font\wm=''Baskerville:color=787878'' at 8pt

What do you think I should do? Probably I should post a new thread to deal with the code itself.
