You have to hunt around on CTAN in the fonts/ directory to find
(La)TeX definition files for your font (.tfm, .vf, .fd). Once you have
installed all of this, using the font is as easy as:
\usepackage{hershey-gothic}
if somebody has written a package to do that, or
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{xxx}
where xxx is the name of the font.
It seems a little difficult (it is indeed not simple), but if you are
lucky enough, somebody has already done the work for you.
Good luck,
JMarc
