# About:
# Installs a Truetype font family for use with LaTeX (pdftex).
# Font series bold is used for both semi-bold and extra-bold.
# The script tries to rename the fonts automatically according
# to the Karl-Berry-scheme, e.g. lfrr8t.ttf stands for Linotype
# Frutiger LT Roman with T1 font-encoding.
#
# Instructions:
# Sudo password is required to put the truetype fonts, the font metrics, 
# the font definition and the font mapping into TEXMF.
# 1. Put the ttf files you want to use with LaTeX into a directory.
# 2. Put this script on your path or into the dir with the ttf files.
# 3. Edit TEXMF, FONTFOUNDRY, FONTNAME, FONTFAMILY, FONTENC, FONTDEFENC
#    and FONTENCFILE according to your font and desired encoding.
# 4. Execute this script.
# 5. Use
#   \renewcommand{\[rm|sf|tt]default}{FONTFAMILY}
#   \renewcommand{\familydefault}{\[rm|sf|tt]default}
# in preamble to change the font for the whole document.

I haven't tested this yet. I just changed for local TEXMF location.
