Installing a TrueType font, step by step - Old Content (view source)

The command above will make the fonts with texnansi encoding. If you don't know what encodings are, then just let it be as it is. If you need another encoding (such as ec, 8r), it can be specified with a switch <tt>--en=ec</tt>. You can install the same font several times with different encodings, the naming scheme allows coexistence.
With the simple command line you may have problems with ligatures. For example, two hyphens <tt>--</tt> in the source file still print as two hyphens (not as an en dash). This can be cured by giving the switch <tt>--afmpl</tt> which tells <tt>texfont</tt> to use a slightly more intelligent utility (<tt>af2plafm2pl</tt>) with the fonts.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a file missing in gwTeX, so you will need to get <tt>default.lig</tt> somewhere. The easiest way is to download it from http://www.tug.org/ftp/texlive/Contents/testinstalled/texmf/fonts/lig/afm2pl/default.lig . Placing it in your working directory is enough, but you could also download all the <tt>.lig</tt> files in that directory and putting them in your own TeX tree at fonts/lig/afm2pl, and then run texhash/mktexlsr.
