How to use specific fonts, Verdana for example with libharu in Ubuntu

Question

I have some type1 types in /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/, and even more after installing msttcorefonts. But in that diversity of fonts, i dont know which one is verdana or arial or else. And no verdana entries was found in /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/fonts.dir.

Here my code to load font:

font_name = HPDF_LoadType1FontFromFile (pdf, "/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/a010013l.afm",
  "/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/a010013l.pfb");

EDITED: Looks like using next function call resolves issue:

font_name = HPDF_LoadTTFontFromFile (pdf,
  "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/Verdana.ttf", 
  HPDF_TRUE);

msttcorefonts are TTF, not Type1. – wRAR Dec 12 '11 at 08:46 — wRAR, Dec 12 '11 at 08:46
