Install OpenType fonts in Texlive

Post by berlen »

Probably this topic has already been discussed, but I haven't found anything clear about it! I bought Garamond Opentype fonts by Adobe, so I have *.otf font files. I'd like to use it in my thesis, but i can't install it in TexLive 2011! I've downloaded pad.zip file from http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/p ... -a-schmidt, and after long hours I sucessfully converted .otf to .pfb. Then I used Crossfont to obtain the .afm file... and now? Do I need any other file? I read that using autoinst may help, but how? Please, help!

Use the XeLaTeX typesetting engine for direct access to system fonts.

Just for information to other users for awareness of possibly already existing solutions. The question has also been posted to {TeX} SX (with answers).
