I'm afraid it's a bit more complex than that, depending on the fonts, you must: - rename the files (preferrably using Karl Berry's FontName scheme) see CTAN - generate or acquire .tfms see man afm2tfm or the docs for FontInst - generate a .fd file to map the fonts into LaTeX's styles - place them in the appropriate spots in the TeX Directory Structure - refresh the filename database That second part can be accomplished in a number of ways: - FontInst (use the pre-release version from CTAN) - afm2tfm (a bit limited in capabilities, but may serve) - download them from various sites which collect / provide such. Here's a very good tutorial for FontInst if you need to go that route: http://lehman.virtualave.net/files/ltxfonts.pdf Which fonts specifically?
