Hi Parul, It would be unfair to say that fonts in latex is easy. And I am afraid that I can not be of much assistance as I donot have a windowscomputer any more. I did how ever get the winfonts package to work with linux. But even that was not as easy as I would have wished for. First I had to put the files in the right places, dowload the webcore fonts and put those into the tex-tree. run update (texhash) and then use a sometime to understand why pdflatex didn't find the font. In the end I had to catenate the pdflatex.map and the winfonts.map. However, then it did work :)
I guess that this isn't really useful on a miktex installation. So the only help I can give is that it is doable :), and if you tell us what the (Documents->)tex-log say about the fonts, we might be able to point you in the right direction. Ingar
