# truetype fonts in LaTeX the easy way (on Debian/Unbuntu)


Steps:

 1. Read:
 How to use 
 [nice fonts in LaTeX](http://existentialtype.net/2008/07/12/fonts-in-latex-part-one-xelatex/)

 2. Install the software:

	`sudo apt-get install texlive-xetex` 

	`sudo apt-get install lcdf-typetools`

 The latter one is needed for `otfinfo` to determine the font family
 name.

 3. Read /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/xetex/XeTeX-reference.pdf
    
 4. Use `xelatex` to create the `pdf` of your LaTeX documents

If you get the following error install the package `lmodern`

     LaTeX Error: File `lmodern.sty' not found.

Finally I can use truetype fonts in my LaTeX documentation. *Sweet*!
