color=#800000 size=2>Opening up the .pfm file for tir, which is the font
file name on PCs of the Type 1 font with PostScript name /Times-Roman, reveals
that Linotype produced them and hold the copyright of this font. In some
correspondence I've had with Linotype earlier this year, I've learned that they
have indeed improved the Times font family and regard them as
obsolete. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

anymore, esp. since one would need to produce TFM files that match the PFMs that
go with the newer versions.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

rather than Type 1 fonts and so that might explain why one does not get the
Type 1 version of fonts that are now considered obsolete by the font
foundry.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

PCTeX that they didn't include them. Technical support there said: "The ti

to install in PCTeX (or in any modern TeX distribution). You can check
the Y&Y support list to see if anyone has solved this problem <A
