How do I use a Windows font in a LaTeX document? Is it even possible? If yes, how?

I am on Windows XP and using the MikTeX system for LaTeX. My LaTeX editor is LEd. I fell in love with the free Fontin font. I have installed it into my Windows fonts and can use it with Word and other Windows apps. Now I would like to use it in my LaTeX documents.

Note: I know how to use the pre-installed fonts inside MikTeX with LaTeX documents. This query is specifically about using fonts in Windows (outside of MikTeX) with LaTeX.

You can use XeLaTeX which can use any installed OpenType font just fine, even with advanced typographic features, if supported by the font.

There's no "drag-and-drop" way of making that work. I used to do this on a regular basis some 10 years ago when I was still at uni and could choose my document writing environment as I pleased. Those were good days...
