I want to write Myanmar fonts in LaTex. Since May, I kept on trying to install in Vista. If you follow the exactly what is written in http://www.radamir.com/tex/ttf-tex.htm, you can easily install in Window XP. In Vista, the font can show in PS only, not in PDF. I feel relax after it shows in PS :P I have to solve it.

No need to solve it. :) Fortunately, it works well in this way. First, covert LaTex to ps , and go to that folder and in command line, type ps2pdf input.ps output.pdf

The example declaration in Tex header.


\newcommand\wininnwa{\usefont{T1}{tnr}{m}{it}}
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\textwin}{\wininnwa}

Whenever you need in the text , call in this way \textwin{vSvSaX;}

I wrote how to do for Myanmar fonts in http://www.mmgeeks.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=56&p=337&hilit=miktex&sid=cc78a2e0949138e07ac51da8b57d55cb#p337
