Yes, I was aware of that, but I think this is due to the font package  
itself.
In fact, my problem is not to get time fonts, but to allow LaTeXiT's  
users to use them if thay want to, bounded by what this package  
offers. So, if it is not working in math mode, the user is expected  
to know that.

Yes, this package does have an effect in maths and text mode. Great !

In both cases, it works thanks to \normalfont and not with  
\selectfont which has no effect.

So it seems that \normalfont is the solution to my problem of fonts  
that would be not used in boxes prior to \begin{document}

But it is. The default preamble of LaTeXiT is this one :
\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage[pdftex]{color} %pour la couleur
\usepackage{amssymb} %maths
\usepackage{amsmath} %maths
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} %utile pour taper directement les  
caractères accentués

Pierre
