[Tex/LaTex] Install Adobe Garamond (pfb, afm) for MikTeX

Question

I'd like to replace the URW-Garamond in my document with Adobe Garamond.

I got the 6 pfb- and pfm-files and couldn't find a way to install it for MikTex.

(Almost) all necessary instructions are given at the above-mentioned link. What you have to do is to download the pad.txt and pad.zip files. Unzip the contents of pad.zip at the root of a LocalTeXMF tree. If you do not have one yet, create one first wih MiKTeX Settings (Roots tab) (click on the Add button for this, see image below). Do not unzip in MiKTeX 2.9. Your Local TeXMF tree must be independent from MiKTeX 2.9, else its contents may be deleted on updates.

Then, in your LocalTeXMF\fontsdirectory, create a type1 directory and copy the pfbs in it, renaming them as indicated in pad.map; do the same for the pfms (actually, I think these are not really necessary, as TeX uses the tfms).

Last step: make your system aware of all the stuff. Refresh the FNBD (via MiKTeX Settings, General tab). And last — not least, make dvips know where to grab the real fonts: write in your personal updmap.cfg the line : Map pad.map, and run from the console: updmap --verbose. This will the fonts be mentioned in psfonts.map and some other files of the sort, that dvips, pdflatex, dvipdfm, &c. read to find type 1 fonts.
