Hello,

Which package should I use to really get `Times New Roman' as
the base font of my document, and not the `Times (Roman)'
alternative, neither the Computer Modern...

I couldn't make it. Still getting Times...

Thanks in advance,
Seb

If you definitely prefer Times New Roman, maybe you should use XeLaTeX,
(the LaTeX format based on XeTeX, which allows to use the fonts
installed on your system).

For example, on my system (MacOSX 10.4.11 aka "Tiger"), here is how I
can use the Times New Roman fonts:

\documentclass[12pt]{scrartcl}
%
%\usepackage{mathtools, amssymb, amsthm}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont{Times New Roman}
%
\begin{document}
%
Ceci est en Times New Roman.
%
\end{document}

(to be saved under the UTF-8 Unicode encoding).

Note: up to know, there is no math fonts to be used specifically with
Times New Roman, as far as I know…

Thank you Franck for your (quick, btw) answer.

Nevertheless, I think this is not a good solution for me, as I
am writing a class file for the whole company, and cannot easily
impose such a change to everybody... Would I be alone...

Is there some other way, using pdflatex?

Best regards,
Seb

Is the solution in
http://www.spacehorn.com/osx/xtra/tnr.html
not good for you? You seem to have some requirements beyond what you
stated in your first email.
