+<h3>Installing a new font</h3>
+<p/>Fonts are really &ldquo;just another package&rdquo;, and so should be installed
+in the same sort of way as packages. However, fonts tend to be more
+complicated than the average package, and as a result it&rsquo;s sometimes
+difficult to see the overall structure.
+<p/>Font files may appear in any of a large number of different formats;
+each format has a different function in a TeX system, and each is
+stored in a directory its own sub-tree in the installation&rsquo;s
+TDS tree; all these sub-trees have the directory
+<i>$TEXMF/fonts</i> as their root. A sequence of answers
+ describes the installation of fonts:
+follow the list through the &ldquo;next question&rdquo; links at the bottom of
+this answer to view them all.
+Other answers discuss specific font families &mdash; for example,
+
+&ldquo;<a href="FAQ-concrete.html">using the concrete fonts</a>&rdquo;.
