Install OpenType fonts in Texlive
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.
