Hi,
Is it possible to use Nibus Roman with MkIV.
I have to send a document where the font used **must** be Times New
Roman or Nimbus Roman. I tried using a clone (Termes), but I was told
that I must use Times New Roman or Nimbus Roman. (It is a matter of
regulations, so it is not possible for me to explain that Termes and
Nibmus Roman are essentially the same).
So, is it possible to use Nimbus Roman (type1 font) in MkIV?

you can just force "file:somename.afm" .. mkiv will make a wide font of it (map onto unicode) so you should be fine

Thanks of lot!

I could not get protrosion to work (against a deadline, so I did not try too hard), but the basic mechanism works well. For anyone else interested in this, here is the typescript that I used:

\starttypescript [\s!serif] [times] [\s!name]
   \definefontsynonym [\s!Serif]             [file:utmr8a.afm]
   \definefontsynonym [\s!SerifItalic]       [file:utmri8a.afm]
   \definefontsynonym [\s!SerifBold]         [file:utmb8a.afm]
   \definefontsynonym [\s!SerifBoldItalic]   [file:utmbi8a.afm]
   \definefontsynonym [\s!SerifSlanted]      [file:utmri8a.afm]
   \definefontsynonym [\s!SerifBoldSlanted]  [file:utmbi8a.afm]
   \definefontsynonym [\s!SerifCaps]         [file:texgyretermes-regular] [\s!features=\s!smallcaps]
\stoptypescript

ConTeXt does not ship with these afm files, so I just copied them from the texlive directory to current working directory.
