Installing fonts is fairly straight forward.  Since you didn't say what 
exactly you did to install them, there is no way to know what went 
wrong.  Search the list archives, I have posted detailed instructions 
on installing fonts and also check the following

http://homepage.mac.com/bkerstetter/tex/fonttutorial-current.html

and

http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/info/Type1fonts/fontinstallationguide.pdf

Basically, you have to make the tex support files (.fd, .tmf, .vf, 
.map, .pfb, .sty, ...) and then run updmap to get fonts to work.
