How to get verdana in MacTex or MikTex

Post by ulula »

I am required to use verdana for my document. I have been searching the web but cannot find much on the use of verdana. There is a package called verdana.sty, but I can't figure out how to install it. Then there is a winfonts package, but I'm not sure it will work with MacTex, any suggestions on how to get verdana?

If you have the font on your system, the easiest way is to use xelatex with the fontspec package.
