Hi Hemant,

I don't think you need to do anything for the TeX side of things. 
Those three sets of fonts will all come with
teTeX and already be installed in the correct places.

Whenever I have had pdf's I can't read it is because the author 
hasn't embedded the ps fonts properly in the
document and so they are bitmaps on screen although they print OK. 
So I guess I don't know the answer
to your Acrobat Reader problems.
