title: How do I use TrueType fonts with LaTeX
body: <p>I need to use a font family in my LaTeX documents, that is available as 18 .TTF (TrueTypeFont) files. </p>
  
  <p>Where do I have to copy the files in my MiKTeX 2.8 installation?
  How Do I make the fonts available for LaTeX?</p>
  
  <p>I usually use pdfLaTeX. I read in <a href="http://www.dalug.org/fileadmin/veranstaltungen/Slides/truetype.pdf" rel="noreferrer">Truetype-Fonts in LaTeX</a> that TTF fonts are available without creating all the .TFM files. What is necessary for this case?</p>
  
  <p>Can I install the fonts in the local-texfm directory? I would like to isolate the system installation and my manually added stuff. Probably it would be easier to copy this font family on another installation.</p>
