The fonts urw-garamond are not installed in TeX Live 2008 (I don't  
know why), and they are necessary here…

However, you may try

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[charter]{mathdesign}

or

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utopia]{mathdesign}

or

\usepackage{fourier}% Loads fontenc option T1 automatically

or

usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{beton, eulervm}

All those should work flawlessly with TeX Live 2008.

As for me, I prefer the Latin Modern fonts (Computer Modern for the  
actual modern age):

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
