How to install and use the simpsons font?
I could not use the following command:

\documentclass[a4paper]{scrartcl} 
\usepackage{simpsons} 
\begin{document} 
\Bart 
\end{document}

I use TeXLive 2011.

Get the style file and the tfm/mf one from CTAN, save the simpsons.tfm in TEXMFHOME/fonts/tfm/public/simpsons/, the *mf in the source part, then run texhash and it should work.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{simpsons}

\begin{document} 
\Lisa
\Homer
\Bart
\Marge
\Maggie
\Burns
\SNPP

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Conflict between color, graphicx and libertine

These option clashes happen when a package is requested to be loaded on two different positions, like by you and inside another package, but with different options. The package is loaded by the first \usepackage (or its twin \RequirePackage); it isn't loaded again when it is requested again. It simply can't be loaded a second time. Therefore the new options can be activated and previous options might conflict with the second usage. So LaTeX creates an error to report this issue to you.

The way to fix this is to declare the options beforehand using \PassOptionsToPackage{<options>}{<package>}. Then they are used wherever the package is loaded.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\ifpdf
    \PassOptionsToPackage{pdftex,usenames,dvipsnames}{color}
    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
    \usepackage{libertine} % most likely loads 'color' itself
    %\usepackage{lmodern} % doesn't load 'color'
    \usepackage{color}
    \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\else
    %\bye
\fi
\begin{document}
Hello, world!
\end{document}

I can't test it by myself, because I don't have the libertine package installed.

PS:

I don't think you need to set pdftex manually. Normally packages do a good job recognizing the driver by themselves. Also you might want to use the extended xcolor package instead of color.

Installing fonts is basically black magic. The font installation guide is helpful, but it's still no walk in the park.

If you really need to use a specific font, XeTeX or LuaTeX might be a better option.
