I download a font. Now... * Where do I put the downloaded file? * By what procedure do I install it so LyX/LaTeX sees it when I check non-TeX and open the dropdown? * Where can I find detailed info on exactly how to use fontinst? The man page is useless, and I found little on the Internet. * I'm supposed to use fonttool, and I installed it on my Ubuntu 12.10 box, but there's no program called fonttool, and no indication anywhere as how to use fonttool.
