[pdftex] font: Arial

[Flt Lt J W R Martin]

If you look in the list archives, you will find good information on setting up pdflatex to use truetype fonts. Search for "truetype". I did this 2 weeks ago and now have working truetype fonts on teTeX and fpTeX on both Win NT and SuSE Linux (6.3 as it happens). Personally, I prefer to use the postcript analog, Helvetica, as the font quality is a mite better.

If you can't find any info, get back to me and I'll try to find the URL of the web page that I used.

|Happy new year to you all!

|I am not sure whether my concerns are related to pdflatex or to latex in
|general.
|I'd really like to use the font "Arial", so what do I have to do? Are
|there any packages to be loaded?
|
|Help is very much appreciated.
|Thanks in advance
