TeXfont used to be a common practice until the arrival of MKIV. It's not maintained, it is somewhat buggy, it has been removed from standard tools (though you can still make it work easily), but I would strongly recommend you to use ConTeXt MKIV (LuaTeX instead of pdfTeX) if you need non-texie fonts. In that case all you need to do is to put your fonts into texmf-fonts or texmf-local under tex/opentype/company/fontname (the part "tex/opentype" is the most important part - assuming that you are indeed dealing with OpenType fonts). Alternatively you may configure OSFONTDIR to point to the folders where you have your system fonts and they will be picked up automatically. If you use XeTeX your system font should be found by default. You only need the right typescripts, but no font conversion at all.
