Talk:Times New Roman

message: I used to work at the The times and my memory is that it was called Times Roman until quite late, sometime in the early 1970's. There was then a briefish period with a variant called Times Europa before Times New Roman came in. I think the problem with Times Roman was that some of the letters had very fine strokes which broke down under the stress of high speed printing as the paper increased circulation.

message: On Caslon's website they still advertise their metal founts (fonts, if you will) for Times New Roman--- see main site here and one of the 3 accompanying images Times New Roman, 24pt down to 6pt. Perhaps somehow these images should be linked to at the end. ButterStick (talk) 09:01, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I find the usage of the phrase "experienced Monotype drawing office team" problematic. It's not necessary, it's not substantiated by references, and it appears twice in the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.177.217.41 (talk) 16:33, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

: See here: http://typophile.com/node/49754; what is referred to as "Times Old Roman" is, probably, Monotype Modern. --Jvs.cz (talk) 09:48, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

message: The section is written to let the browser take care of displaying the Times New Roman font. That's no good, since the computer used for browsing, might lack the Times New Roman font, or the user might have shut off the browsers capability to choose font. It would be better if someone having Times New Roman made an image in some way, f.ex.:
# entering the letters in Wordpad (or some such, whatever), and making an image snapshot, saving it in GIF or PNG, but preferrably not JPEG;
# entering the letters in Inkscape, marking the letters and converting them to curves (so that the SVG code doesn't rely on WikiPedia's converters).

thread_title: Bad section: "Characters"

message: I know that the standard Times New Roman shows the Cyrillic letters "Л" with a flat top (like the one I wrote). However, I remember seing a version of Times New Roman that had the "Л" letter with a "roof" top like in "A". Any info?
:I take it that you are talking about the MS Windows TNR. The pointy Л is probably the same image as the Greek Lamda---that's all I can say without looking at an image. 118.90.0.148 (talk) 08:10, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Several typefaces offer the lambda-like Л forms.  They include Century Gothic and Franklin Gothic for the sanserif faces, and Garamond for the serif faces. CJLippert (talk) 17:26, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

message: I had a look at the linked PDF and it indeed asserts that "Math & Technical" is a repackaged version of TNR. I had a look at the M&T fonts---not all of them are variants of TNR. Some seem to be taken from the maths version of  Monotype Modern and some seem to be from other faces (see the Greek capital xi for a very clear example; also the small beta, omega). The very same source includes a table from Monotype with all the characters from the math version of TNR. I've commented out that statement for the mean time. 118.90.41.39 (talk) 01:48, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

message: From reading the article it seems that "Times New Roman" was the original font, and "Times Roman" came after.  If this is true, we should move the page to the original name right?  mislih 18:34, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Couldn't help but notice Cameron Latham's name included in the opening paragraph, but yet, no mention of Victor Lardent. Lardent was instrumental to the creation of Times New Roman, with many of the glyphs having actually been drawn by his hand. He worked under the direction of Stanley Morison at Monotype and should be credited for his work. Aside from the mentioning of his name in this article, I don't see the link between Cameron Latham and the Times New Roman typeface. I've done my research, and I see Victor Larden and Stanley Morison mentioned everywhere, but never Latham in this regard.
What were his contributions? Were the significant enough for us to say that he created Times New Roman?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.185.154.5 (talk) 00:52, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Confusing introduction 

message: In 2009, user Rbpolsen added to the article a sample of "Times Roman", but the sample is written using "Times New Roman". These two typefaces are slightly different in some details and it is misleading to add "Times Roman" title to "Times New Roman" sample. User Rbpolsen also added this image to Times Roman article. I will replace the image with the previous PNG image that was correct.

thread_title:  Wrong Times Roman sample 

message: The original link (http://www.thedaily.com/page/2011/08/15/081511-opinions-history-times-new-roman-eastland-1-3/) erroneously states that on "Oct. 3, 1943, Times New Roman debuted on the bright white broadsheets of the London daily [i.e., The Times]". Unfortunately, the English Wikipedia article uncritically quotes this wrong date. The debut was on October 3, 1932, which may be verified in hundreds of locations, e.g., in the French and Swedish versions of the Wikipedia article.  Typoviking (talk) 09:58, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

message: It would be interesting to see a link to an article on the prior typeface or a side by side comparison.

thread_title:  What did the Times use before Times New Roman? 

message: The introduction says, "Times New Roman ... made its debut in the 3 October 1932 issue of The Times newspaper."  A sentence in the "Times Roman and Times New Roman" section states, "[Times New Roman] made its debut in the Oct. 3, 1943 issue of The Times of London."  One of these must be incorrect.  (This inconsistency was pointed out on this talk page on 5 August 2012, but it was in a follow-up comment and may have been overlooked.) 66.68.20.30 (talk) 07:47, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Times New Roman (so on Russia beyond the headlines) will not be licensed to the new Russian operating systems. They were happy to buy a licence from monotype, but these didn't want the business as the new operating systems may have something to do with the military. So we drift apart again. But I never knew that royalties still had to be paid for a font that I don't like using. I tend to use Latha when I can, much better to read, I find 2001:8003:A0B9:EF00:646B:A702:D2DB:B2A (talk) 06:30, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
