I am a LaTeX user and I am using it on Linux Ubuntu. In my document I want to use handwriting font described here. So i tried to include it by using:
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{la}
\newcommand{\setfont}[2]{{\fontfamily{#1}\selectfont #2}}
in my header and then applying the style using:
\setfont{la}{blah bleh blah bloh}
I got an error that la.sty
cannot be found. I know that .sty
is a file that needs to be installed on my PC which runs Ubuntu 12.04. I found all the packages needed on CTAN, but unfortunately I don't know how to install them. Can anyone help?

This is not the answer how to install the la-font, but maybe it is easier to install another handwriting font: http://www.ctan.org/pkg/schulschriften - it is part of TeXLive.
You can get a la-variant with
\usefont{T1}{wela}{m}{n}
A MWE (including some other handwriting fonts):
