The correct name for tha map file is now ztmsc.map, not the one I posted earlier. You should not have to do anything with fontinst---everything is already in the package. The line
\usepackage[adobsc]{newtxtext}
loads newtxtext, bringing up the URW Times clones as text fonts, unless you've changed that changing the settings in updmap.cfg to specify Adobe Times ---see below. If you have those Adobe fonts, it's easier to leave them in their original names, eg, tir_____.pfb and use
sudo -H updmap-sys --setoption LW35 ADOBE
or, if you keep font maps in your home texmf,
updmap --setoption LW35 ADOBE
With option adobesc, upright shapes of small caps will be rendered with your Adobe TimesSC.
