TTF Fonts in Latex on LINUX

Question

I couldn't find much help on google. Can anyone suggest me some link?

Answer 1

Try googling tex truetype - there's plenty of hits. The top one looks fairly promising

although I've never done this myself.

Answer 2

When you've got TTF fonts installed you'll want to make sure that you have the following in your preamble:

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{ae,aecompl}

Answer 3

Try using XeTeX/XeLaTeX rather than plain TeX/LaTeX or pdfTeX/pdfLaTeX. XeTeX handles truetype and opentype fonts transparently, no need to go through any hassles:
