I don't think PDFTeX can use TTC fonts. I use PDFTeX for DVI output and use dvipdfmx for PDF. Map files for dvipdfmx support fonts inside a TrueType Collection. TTF2TFM also supports the extra fonts inside a TTC by using the -f switch. For example, msmincho.ttc contains MS-Mincho and MS-PMincho: ttf2tfm msmincho.ttc [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ (will make TFM for MS-Mincho) ttf2tfm msmincho.ttc -f 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ (will make TFM for MS-PMincho) The map file for dvipdfmx will then look like: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ Identity-H :0:msmincho.ttc (for MS-Mincho) [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ Identity-H :1:msmincho.ttc (for MS-PMincho) > >Well, it can be done in stages.

I will also add some example files of what is already possible in ConTeXt. I'll post the URL soon.
