[pdftex] questions on adding truetype fonts

[Feiyi Wang]

Just to add another way I tried:

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{xyz}

this way, default fonts did changes, but when I used
\textit{}, it would't pick up the font description there.
Example: pdflatex gives:

Warning: Font shape `T1/xyz/m/xyzi' undefined

I've defined t1xyzi.fd as: 
\ProvidesFile{t1xyzi.fd}[xyzi]
\DeclareFontFamily{T1}{xyzi}{}
\DeclareFontShape{T1}{xyzi}{m}{n}{<-> recxyzi}{}
\endinput
