Hi Chandrasekhar,
creating the tfm and fd files needed by latex is not trivial.  Maybe
it's easier to use xelatex instead of latex.  xetex supports system
fonts (fonts in c:/windows/fonts) directly.  No conversion required.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
