If I can make some suggestions:=20

a) Throw out the font and use a basic font. Package installation, =
especially
font installation for TeX comes straight from the 1970s and is =
appropriately
ugly.
b) Use XeTeX instead of PDFLaTeX. In my experience, it provides better =
output anyways,
despite some oddball packages being incompatible with it[1]. It also has =
built-in UTF-8=20
support. XeTeX has access to system fonts and an easy macro set to =
specify them. So you=20
can pick a nice font that is present on all platforms and just use it.

Regards,
Florian

[1]: Mostly because they check the ability of PDF output by checking =
whether they run
on PDFLatex. Kind of similar to gems not running on jruby because they =
check on a MRI
version string.
