Dear Maria --
I am contacting you regarding an enquiry we have on installing fonts in
latex.
We are working in UNIX environment and we would like to install a custom
font in latex. Is it possible to install a custom font? If so, could you
please guide us through? In order to install a custom font what should
be the file extension?
I know nothing about Unix, but if there is a version of XeTeX which
runs under XeTeX, then XeLaTeX may be your preferred solution. XeTeX
understands system fonts, so provided that your custom font is
already in system format (Truetype, Opentype, whatever), then all
that will be needed is to install the font wherever your system
fonts live, using its canonical extension.
XeTeX list cc'd as you may wish to follow up there.
