I noted the availability of Tinos Serif in another comment; it is virtually identical to Liberation Serif except Liberation Serif has about 672 glyphs, and Tinos has 2,583. Both of these fonts, as noted, are metrically compatible replacements for Times New Roman.
There are also fonts which evoke the feeling of Cambria, although they are not metrically compatible. Droid Serif, with 896 glyphs, is nearly identical to Noto Serif which has 2,414 glyphs.
I tied that now with the font i downloaded times new roman and it is same size thanks,i tried to type just times new roman or word fontes,something like that so in one program eula i think asked me to save that and now when i go to libre office i have that font,but i wantedto ask would i see it on office when my proff.in collage open it?Thanks a lot,i appriciate help
Just in case this might be of interest to others checking this thread, Tinos, from Ascender Corp, is also a free, open source font, metrically compatible with Times New Roman, and has a huge range of glyphs. Also an excellent replacment font, should such be needed.
One additional info. In Ubuntu there should already be Liberation fonts. There are very very similar to Microsoft fonts and this Liberation fonts are free of use (no restriction). Check them out, I think professor will most probably not notice the difference: Liberation fonts - Wikipedia
Edit your question to mention OS name and LO version.
As you rightfully remark, fonts are installed by and into the OS. LO only reports what it finds there. But since the menu is cached, you need to quit LO and reopen it for the last changes to be visible (if you installed fonts while LO was open).
OP reported font origin in a separate topic instead of here.
I downloaded the font. It is Adobe 1990 with last modification date 2000. It is then likely it is a type 1 font. To confirm this suspicion, I installed the font on my Linux box and it showed up in Writer. My assumption is wrong. The font is encoded in a currently supported format.
@lost_open is encouraged to check his/her installation procedure.
I would avoid such ancient fonts where possible. There is a good selection of freely available fonts at Google Fonts, choose a family with several variations that can be installed. If there is a choice, always install the static font as LibreOffice has limited support for variable fonts.
I can display all kind of content in different fonts, which is great. However, I can't figure out how to add something to what's currently being displayed without refreshing the whole display. My code is like this:
This display an icon from fontawesome in the upper right corner, then clears the screen and displays Hi. How can I change this to display the icon + hi? Ideally I'd have "zones" on the screen where I can change the icon zone while keeping the text displayed and vice versa. Thanks!
When using a new Arch installation (inside an OpenSolaris system using BrandZ), I noticed that Evince and LyX use a boldface font when they should be using a normal Roman font. Thus, for a PDF file without embedded fonts, Times-Roman gets displayed bold, as if it were Times-Bold. Similarly, if you start LyX and go to Help -> Introduction, you will find that plain text gets displayed as boldface, so that there is no difference between the section headings and the paragraphs of content.
What's happening is that both programs are simply trying to call a generic font name like 'serif' or 'monospace'. If you have DejaVu, Bitstream Vera, or one of the other more complete font sets with these properties defined, it will use one of them. So having an optional dependency on one font set doesn't make sense when a number of them will suffice.
I see. I didn't realize that there are a variety of font sets available that will do the job. So it turns out that my post was a request for assistance as opposed to a kind of bug report with solution after all.
I just looked at the beginner's guide, and it does suggest that you should install some font sets. So I guess why I ran into this problem whereas no one else seems to is that I was doing a very minimal install, without an X environment.
Yeah, there are no complete font sets required for a minimal install. Bitstream Vera had been sort of the standard font on Linux distros for years and DejaVu is based on that and more. I'm somewhat disconnected with Bitstream's status in terms of getting pulled in as a dependency these days mainly because I use DejaVu everywhere in apps.
I remember a similar discussion coming up about the ttf-ms-fonts package in regards to PDF files. If the creator of a PDF document used bitmap fonts but didn't embed them, some PDF viewers wouldn't try a workaround. So if the end user didn't have ttf-ms-fonts installed, they would see a terribly rendered set of bitmap fonts. Evince has been good for years about trying a replacement table, but the last time that I checked ePDFview didn't.
I still think there might be a bug here, though. If I remove both ttf-ms-fonts and ttf-dejavu, and I open a pdf file that uses Times-Roman but doesn't embed it (because it's present on PostScript laser printers) in Evince, letters get displayed nicely at any magnification (thus, a scalable font must be being used), but a boldface font is used instead of a roman font: my original problem.
I don't know how to determine what font Evince is using. But surely if the system can find a boldface scalable font, it should be able to find the roman font from the same family (which is what is required), too? Here is what "pacman -Q grep fonts" produces:
The font Evince uses must be coming from gsfonts as far as I can tell, and that package is described as "Ghostscript standard Type1 fonts". So that package has got to have Times-Roman. So it seems to me that something is wrong either with gsfonts, or with the font system. Because I think that Evince together with gsfonts should be able to render a PDF file containing Times-Roman correctly.
Times-Roman is a very standard font, and it's in gsfonts. Evidently, xpdf can get it from gsfonts, but Evince can't. So I'm pretty sure we've got a bug here. (And praise be to Arch for still making xpdf readily available!) That's especially clear since the Evince package declares gsfonts to be one of its dependencies. (Thus, the original title of this thread misrepresents the problem. So I've changed the title from the original "Evince and LyX should depend on ttf-dejavu". The dependencies are correct; they just don't work as they're supposed to.) The bug could be from upstream, though.
I'm still not sure that we're talking about a bug or a dependency issue, although I may be wrong of course. Installed fonts do make a huge difference, which we all agree on. I was only making a point about what should be considered a dependency, optional or not. Somewhere in the freedesktop.org specification lies the generic calls to 'monospace' and 'serif'. Apps like xpdf don't, or at least didn't, care about that in part because it's far older than the specification.
The way I'm coming at this is as an old LaTeX user. TeX came with its own fonts; soon people made it work with the standard Type1 PostScript fonts that the gsfonts package provides. If you created a TeX document that used the standard Type1 fonts, ghostscript would be able to render it, using its own fonts, those in the gsfonts package. xpdf still works that way. But Evince can't correctly render a pdf file containing only standard Type1 fonts, even though its package has as a dependency gsfonts, which provides those fonts.
I don't think this is a dependency issue any more, since the Evince package declares gsfonts to be one of its dependencies. That is a correct dependency, since that's the way it was done in the old days, before Evince came into existence. The problem is that Evince cannot use the fonts in gsfonts correctly.
If you want, I can post LaTeX files which produce pdf files using the Times-Roman and Times-Bold fonts. There is no question that such pdf files should be rendered correctly using gsfonts alone, since that is the purpose of gsfonts. But although xpdf can do that using only gsfonts, Evince cannot. That's a bug either in Evince or, more likely, in the way it gets its font information (since LyX suffers from the same problem).
Like I said, there's a good chance this bug comes from upstream. In any case, it bothers me, because in the old days, you could depend upon pdf files using only the standard Type 1 fonts to be rendered by means of gsfonts.
