[XeTeX] Using otf fonts in xelatex

[Axel Etzold]

Dear all,

I am trying to use some *.otf fonts in xelatex.
I read that xetex can use these "directlyon Mac OSX" (here:
http://www.ece.ucdavis.edu/~jowens/code/otfinst/),
however, I need to use them in xelatex and Opensuse Linux 10.2,
and the installation process seems somewhat different -- and quite
confusing to the newbie --
so I am getting some error messages:

\section*{My very first xetex document}

Hello, world. I hope to be able to typeset in OpenType Fonts easily in the
future, using accents both in Latex style \'{e}\"{a} and in Unicode, as
well as mathematical $formulae$.

\end{document}

-------------------------------

So far, I've put the otf files I had bought into one directory, and
left them there -- because somewhere, it was promised that this would
work straight away  -- but it didn't :(

What conversions do I need to do ?

Thank you very much for your help!
