Re: [NTG-context] Times New Roman

Times New Roman is a Microsoft version of Times Roman. Actually, TNR is the Monotype version of the typeface, licensed by Microsoft, but with widths adjusted to match Times Roman, which was a Linotype typeface. To make matters more fun, Apple licensed its version from Linotype. And for cosmic revenge, Monotype bought Linotype, so there's just one company now. Times New Roman is more illegible than Times Roman. The only design differences are minimal. The serifs of C and S, for example, are more vertical in the Monotype version, and the italic z is more calligraphic in the Linotype version, but in large part, the two versions are identical. Personally, for book text, I think you ought to use Times Ten, which is designed for that. Both Times Roman and Times New Roman were originally designed as newspapers typefaces to be set on very short measures and are therefore too narrow for book use.

By being a proper package under LaTeX, do you mean that the package conforms to all norms for LaTeX package programming? Or do you mean that the interface is proper? I don't know that that can really be judged. But since TIPA has become the de-facto standard, most linguists who use TeX have learned its interface.

Re: [NTG-context] confused on font size

2. {\tfx font size ??}
3. {\xii some font}
What are the advantages of each? I would think that option (1) would
be the simplest and clearest to use.
Consider 1 vs. 2 if your editor or journal said, ``No, we don't want
12pt text, we want 10pt text.'' If you've used option 1, you will have
to go through and find every instance of where you've changed the size,
whereas option 2 will scale with you.

Two sets of concerns have provided impetus to the project: first, that many users need the e-TeX extensions, and they're not on the Omega development path; and second, that the Omega project is currently immersed in radical restructuring of Omega, and is not able to be particularly responsive to user requirements in the short term. In the longer term, the Aleph project hope that their work will be rendered irrelevant by the development of Omega proper.
