You have specified
\usepackage{times}
but then later you over-write the font definitions and specify Palatino:
\usepackage{palatino}%police
presumably you want to remove that line if you want Times
As you are using pdflatex also change
\usepackage[utf8]{luainputenc}
to
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
I'm not sure what's supposed to be best. The following methods work well, though.
For the Times (New) Roman text font, you could choose (via \setmainfont
)
For a Times (New) Roman-like math font, first load the unicode-math
package and then load (via \setmathfont
)
XITS Math
TeX Gyre Termes Math
Stix Two Math
.
Alternatively, just use
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{newtxtext,newtxmath}
First Addendum: A personal comment on the mostly minuscule differences between Times
(aka Times Roman
) and Times New Roman
. To the best of my knowledge, there are only two readily-noticeable differences among the two fonts when using Latin letters (more differences occur with Greek letters):
the italic lowercase letter z
: it's "swashy" with Times Roman, but non-swashy with Times New Roman; and
the %
symbol, in both upright and italic mode: the first, i.e., upper "0" symbol and the solidus (aka slash symbol) are not connected with Times New Roman, but they are connected with Times Roman.
Would you -- or anyone else who's not a rather serious font afficionado -- ever take note of these differences and say, "tut, tut, why is this document using Times
if it should be using Times New Roman
? (Some even less readily visible differences between the two fonts are listed on the Wikipedia page.)
Second Addendum: If you happen to have access to the commercial MathTime Professional II
("mtpro2
") Times-like math font package and wish to use under either XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, you should (a) load it before loading fontspec
, (b) load the fontspec
package with the option no-math
, and (c) not load the unicode-math
package at all. I.e., the relevant part of your document's preamble should look roughly like this:
\usepackage{mtpro2} % or: \usepackage[lite]{mtpro2}
%% load 'fontspec' only if we are running either XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX
\usepackage{ifluatex,ifxetex}
\ifxetex \usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}
\else\ifluatex \usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}
\fi\fi
\usepackage[osf]{newtxtext} % or some other suitable Times-like text font
Finally, here's the code needed to produce the little table shown above; compile it with either XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX. (Of course, you will need to have access to the fonts Myriad Pro
, Times
, and Times New Roman
in order to be able to compile it.)
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Myriad Pro}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{@{}lcc@{}}
\toprule
& \multicolumn{2}{c@{}}{``Times''-like font}\\
\cmidrule(l){2-3}
& Times & Times New Roman \\
\midrule
Text-italic ``z'' & \setmainfont{Times}[ItalicFont={Times Italic}] \textit{z}
& \setmainfont{Times New Roman} \textit{z}\\
Percent symbol & \setmainfont{Times} \%
& \setmainfont{Times New Roman} \% \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
Best Answer
\usepackage{times}
it works for me.Update:
It is better to use
\usepackage{mathptmx}
becausetimes
is obsolete according CTAN:The package is now obsolete, replaced by the mathptmx package, which supports Times Roman text and (mostly) matching mathematics.
