How do I use TTF font (Book Antqua) in LaTeX?

[Walter Th. Bril]

I thought I would never come to this; but I really would like the
TTF font 'Book Antiqua' converted to some sort of (La)TeX font (keeping
the characteristics of this font of course ;-)).

Since I never did this before: anyone who knows what the steps are?
Is there a (PC also) tool which can convert ttf to pk for example?
I'm using MikTeX on the Winside and teTeX on the UNIXside...

Cheers,

Walter

`Book Antiqua' is a TrueType version of the Type 1 font called `Palatino'.
The later is resident in most PS printers, and support for it exists
in the LaTeX 2e PSNFSS distribution (see palatiny.sty).

Get ttf2pk from

ftp://ftp.freetype.org/pub/freetype/devel/freetype-current.tar.gz

install it, write a proper FD file and there you are. I've succesfully
used it for a book just now.
