Thank you for your attention. However this is exactly what I did.

Hi Otared, I also tried with Nadeem, and I had exactly the same problem.

I couldn't find the font you are mentioning: since I am on a Mac
running Mac OS X 10.5.3, I am not sure whether the links there allows
me to install such fonts.

installing a ttf on mac os is a matter of double-clicking (font book opens), and pressing the "install font" button. The font ends up in ~/Library/Fonts :D
