Fwd: Times Roman vs Latin Modern Roman Font
Eventually, I'll get in the habit of checking the distribution before clicking ``Send'' Begin forwarded message: On Aug 27, 2008, at 10:27 AM, Bruce Pourciau wrote: Palatino, for example, was designed by Herman Zapf, one of the great type designers, and it is available (in LyX document settings) with small caps, old style numerals, and mathematical symbols that blend. For Times there's also mathptmx which is quite usable, as well as the nascent Stix fonts http://www.stixfonts.org/ or MathTime Professional which is well worth the investment if one needs it but can't wait for Stix. -- William Adams senior graphic designer Fry Communications

Actually, Monotype's Times New Roman is the original, while
Linotype's Times Roman is the clone --- see Walter Tracy's _Letters
of Credit_ for the beginnings of the back story on this and an
article in APHA's journal (sorry, can't recall the details) for the
balance of what's been made known beyond the ``gentlemen's
agreement'' to hide the back room dealings.
