Text Formatting ⇒ Times New Roman True Type Font Issues

[rmkemker]

Hey All:

On a current paper I am writing, I need to use Times New Roman 12pt True Type Font. I have tried the command:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{times}

This however, when opened up in Adobe, produces a NimbusRomNo9L-Regu Embedded Type 1 font. Is there a way to fix this?

I am using:
MiKTeX 2.8 with the TexnicCenter
pdftex and...

Code: Select all

\documentclass[letterpaper,final,12pt]{report}

I would certainly appreciate any help that I could get. Thanks!

The times package is obsolete [1]. You should try an alternative. And I don't think that the readers of your document are able to recognize the slight differences between Times New Roman (TNR) and Nimbus Roman No9 L [2]. Your are not using a True Type Font (TTF) here, but a Type 1 Postscript font. If you really need Times New Roman as TTF, use XeLaTeX and read the manuals of fontspec and mathspec packages. This enables you to use TNR as system font.
