[NTG-context] About Times!

2008-12-22 Thread Jeff Smith
Hi all!

Okay, that pun was not that good. Anyways... For the first time ever
I'm not using one of my own fonts for a document project. I was
wondering about Times. The font itself, installed with ConTeXt. So, I
tried using the following in my document:

\usetypescript[times]
\setupbodyfont[times,12pt]

It changed to a Times font. Sweet! Now, what sort of Times font is it?
:-) Where is it from? Who did it? Has it to do with those Gyre fonts I
keep reading about?

I need to... well, no, I just like to know these things when it comes
to my documents, especially when they are aimed at publication.

Thanks!
Jeff

Are you using minimals ?

 Oh, I didn't know about that command. I did it as I always ConTeXt
 under Linux. Gave me TeXGyreTermes-Regular, so that's enough of an
 answer to look it up by myself. I'm using the minimals.


Also
$pdfinfo
is very useful
