Hi,
URW Garamond can be used freely but you are not allowed to take
money for re-distribution.  This is the reason it cannot be part of
TeX Live.

However, it can be installed easily.  Simply run:

   getnonfreefonts garamond

on the command line.  If you want to know which fonts are supported by
getnonfreefonts, run

   getnonfreefonts -l

Of course, internet access is required.

Regards,
  Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
