Download and install the 'winfonts' package from CTAN: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/winfonts/ Installation instructions are for windoze unfortunately. Unpack the zipfile in the appropriate directory (for my TeXLive it would be in /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-var/, don't know about teTeX). If necessary, download the fonts from http://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/ copy the truetype fonts to the appropriate directory (/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-var/fonts/truetype for my TeXLive install). Run mktexlsr. Now add winfonts.map to your updmap.cfg file, and run updmap. You should then be able to use the fonts with \usepackage{winfonts}. > i was up past 03:00 this morning messing with things tex. > ---cannot find xetex, btw, nor xelatex. so that is a 2nd qstn: > do we have a ports directory where the tex stuff is located? The TeX in ports is outdated and abandoned upstream. Install TeXLive instead. > finally, is there any font+tex site =and= mailing list that the > tex wizards onlist know of? Your local TeX User Group will probably have a mailing list.
