Hi, Mojca! Thanks for the clarification. I had thought that I was getting Latin Modern instead but wanted to be sure. Termes sounds like a good alternative to me, but I had best consult the publisher, since he originally specified Times New Roman. It is apaprently no longer a typesetting problem. Again, thanks for your help. Alan On Dec 1, 2008, at 09;04,49 , Mojca Miklavec wrote:

I am running the ConTeXt Minimals of 11/10 and am trying to access Times New Roman using the script

\usetypescript [timesnewroman][ec] \definetypeface[timesnewroman][rm][serif][timesnewroman][default] [encoding=ec] \definebodyfont[9pt,11pt][rm][default] \setupbodyfont[timesnewroman,rm,11pt]

I am not sure what I getting and I am puzzled by the log file , hence, my question: Is Times New Roman distributed with the minimals and is this the way to access it?

Hello Alan,

Do you need "something-like-times" or Times New Roman?

This works: % possibly \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr] \usetypescript[times][ec] \setupbodyfont[times,12pt]

It will give you times-like typeface (TeX Gyre Termes), but not Times New Roman. Times New Roman is not distributied (and possibly copyrighted).

That is good to know, I will use it in talking with the publisher. Many thanks. Alan On Dec 1, 2008, at 09;28,08 , Yue Wang wrote:

Termes is a TeX Gyre version of Times Roman (almost the same glyphs). Times New Roman is a Microsoft version of Times Roman. Times New Roman is more illegible than Times Roman.

It definitely makes sense to ask him, but most people (including me) do not notice the difference at all. Even if you need exactly Times New Roman, it should not be too difficult to change, but you can ask the publisher where to get the math glyphs in case he insists :) :) :) Mojca

Fantastic, Wolfgang! An image is worth 1000 words. Many thanks for the visual support. Alan On Dec 1, 2008, at 12;38,41 , Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

You could try to find the differences in my example.
