Commercial mathematical fonts matching Times are available from Micropress with TeX support by the package tmmath: https://ctan.org/pkg/tmmath The "newtx" package (https://ctan.org/pkg/newtx) is not just a workaround but the recommended free maths font package to match Times text fonts. Alternatively, you can use the "STIX fonts"¹ (either for both, text and maths oder in combination with Times as text font. With XeTeX/LuaTeX, you can use non-TeX fonts and unicode-math with, e.g. TeX Gyre or STIX¹ https://ctan.org/pkg/tex-gyre-math-termes https://ctan.org/pkg/stix2-otf ¹ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STIX_Fonts_project ................................................................ *Mathematicl* font setup is conceptually and functionally different from *text* mode fonts. Unless your document contains Greek text parts or words, you may skip the setup of Greek text fonts (but it may help to get letters for, say, π-mesons). >> For text, you can use the Times lookalike "Artemisia" from the Greek Font >> Societey, e.g. via http://ctan.org/pkg/substitutefont > I didn’t try your Artemisia suggestion yet but I see that you are the > maintainer, so thanks for that. Actually, I just created and maintain the "substitutefont" package. It is intended to combine matching 8-bit fonts for different scripts, because quite often font developers for, say, Greek miss advanced Latin features (letter ß or ð, say) while fonts for Latin have only basic or no Greek or Cyrillic support. > It does look like a nice font although it is not a Times lookalike to > my eyes. You are right, Artemisia is not a lookalike. GFS Artemisia is a relatively modern font, designed as a ‘general purpose’ font in the same sense as Times is nowadays treated. --- https://www.ctan.org/pkg/gfsartemisia However, it is just an example. You can try any Greek font with 8-bit TeX support (cf. https://www.ctan.org/topic/font-greek, https://www.ctan.org/pkg/gfs, https://www.ctan.org/pkg/psgreek). Again, you can also use XeTeX/LuaTeX with any Unicode (non-TeX) font that contains all required characters. LyX will tell you if characters are missing. Günter Günter
