Hi I know its a pain, but I've got 64-bit Windows Vista and I have to keep it.
The problem is that I want to use a comercial opentype font (Adobe Garamond Pro) in LaTeX. I understand that one may convert the font into Type 1, but this would not the same font had I bought the Type 1 version, that is, there is some loss of integrity in the conversion process.
Another option is XeLaTeX using the \fontspec package. But the only place I can find a windows port for XeTeX is bundled with MikTex 2.7, however as far as I know, there is no MikTeX 2.7 version available for 64-bit-- I have to use the MikTeX 2.5 bundled with proTeX and that doesn't have XeTeX on it.
Any thoughts, corrections or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I'm using miktex with Vista Business 64bit.
Re: Using opentype fonts on 64-bit Vista
Is there any reason that you can't use 32-bit MiKTeX? After all, it's just a software package, it doesn't contain any hardware drivers that would require 64-bit code. And I can't think of any obvious benefits that increased 64-bit address space could bring to TeX.
