Dear Mojca,
obviously I have forgotten to add an important detail - the fonts I want to install are TrueType fonts. My bad and apologies! For installing ttf I've used http://tug.org/pracjourn/2005-2/schmitz/schmitz.pdf (also mentioned in wiki) so far, and it worked every time.

It doesn't actually install fonts, it merely converts them from, say, Type 1, to a zillion of 8-bit files (meaning that you won't even be able to use more than a couple accented characters in that font). This was useful before TeX supported OpenType fonts, but is a complete waste of time and resources to go through that painful route nowadays. You can just copy your own OpenType font files to, say, texmf-fonts/data (and probably update the font database after that with mtxrun).
