[texhax] *.otf font files.

[Rolf Turner]

The place where I work is such that everybody else uses (yeeuuuchhhh)  
MS Word.
Just now we were given a new collection of fonts (apparently  
proprietary to
the University of Auckland; sigh; I despair ...) that are required/ 
recommended
by the University style guide.

The font files have been placed in ~/Library/Fonts and in /Library/ 
Fonts on my IMac;
they have names like

	GroteskMacronOT-Reg.otf

and the ``file'' command says they are ``OpenType font data''.

Is it possible to use such fonts in LaTeX?  If so, can someone please  
give me
a (fairly explicit) recipe as to how to do so?   Said recipe would  
(said he,
hopefully) include answers to:

	* what font files do I need to create? (*.pk things? *.tfm things?)
	* how do I create them?
	* once they're created, where should I put them?
	* ***then*** what do I do?  I.e. what incantations do I need to
	  put into my *.tex file in order to invoke the use of these fonts?

I don't understand, and never have understood, fonts and font files  
properly,
so please make your explanations, if you are kind enough to provide  
them, as
simple-minded as possible.

Undying gratitude, 'n' stuff like that.

	cheers,

		Rolf Turner
