Sample images of Linotype (Times Roman), Monotype (Times New Roman), and URW (Nimbus Roman) versions would be very helpful. ⇔ ChristTrekker 15:44, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Caslon's metal type

On Caslon's website they still advertise their metal founts (fonts, if you will) for Times New Roman--- see main site here and one of the 3 accompanying images Times New Roman, 24pt down to 6pt. Perhaps somehow these images should be linked to at the end. ButterStick (talk) 09:01, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Times Old Roman

What did Times Old Roman look like?

Legal

Is this font subject to copyright etc.? If so, how is the holder? 130.209.6.41 (talk) 06:07, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bad section: "Characters"

The section is written to let the browser take care of displaying the Times New Roman font. That's no good, since the computer used for browsing, might lack the Times New Roman font, or the user might have shut off the browsers capability to choose font. It would be better if someone having Times New Roman made an image in some way, f.ex.:

entering the letters in Wordpad (or some such, whatever), and making an image snapshot, saving it in GIF or PNG, but preferrably not JPEG;
entering the letters in Inkscape, marking the letters and converting them to curves (so that the SVG code doesn't rely on WikiPedia's converters).

Times New Roman Cyrillic

I know that the standard Times New Roman shows the Cyrillic letters "Л" with a flat top (like the one I wrote). However, I remember seing a version of Times New Roman that had the "Л" letter with a "roof" top like in "A". Any info?

I take it that you are talking about the MS Windows TNR. The pointy Л is probably the same image as the Greek Lamda---that's all I can say without looking at an image. 118.90.0.148 (talk) 08:10, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Usage

Books

The article states: "Times New Roman is still widely used for book typography." It is certainly very common in internal reports, partly because it is commonly the 'default' typeface. But how common is it in professionally-published books? —DIV (128.250.247.158 (talk) 04:02, 26 March 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Depends on what you mean by "Times New Roman". I can say that many undergraduate university textbooks (incl. but not restricted to Cambridge UP) use the TNR PS/Times Roman. For actual academic texts, Springer's mathematics series and many journals use various incarnations of TNR, including the Monotype "classic" version, with all the bells and whistles like the special fonts for 7pt/5pt text. IIRC the "Graduate Texts in Mathematics" series of Springer is entirely set in TNR. At least in academic publishing it is very much alive. 118.90.0.39 (talk) 09:35, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Times 4-line Mathematics Series 569

I had a look at the linked PDF and it indeed asserts that "Math & Technical" is a repackaged version of TNR. I had a look at the M&T fonts---not all of them are variants of TNR. Some seem to be taken from the maths version of Monotype Modern and some seem to be from other faces (see the Greek capital xi for a very clear example; also the small beta, omega). The very same source includes a table from Monotype with all the characters from the math version of TNR. I've commented out that statement for the mean time. 118.90.41.39 (talk) 01:48, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
