fontsxetex
I want to create a document using latex, but I discovered that latex only works with plain ascii, and my native language is not English 🙂 So I tried xetex instead (with example from here). The problem is, I do not have the font that example requires.
What should I add to the beginning section of my .tex file to get a proper font – Times New Roman for example?
The mathptmx package is not the best way to load the times font as the fonts are both incomplete and a patchwork of symbols from different sources.
Among the free fonts, you best choice today is probably newtx (alternatively, on older distributions, you have txfonts, but they have some spacing problems):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{newtxtext}
\usepackage{newtxmath}
\begin{document}
$y = f(x)$
$\mathbf{y=f(x)}$
{\boldmath$y=f(x)$}
\end{document}
Solved by actually using a different type of Times New Roman font (with Romanian glyphs). Otherwhise Joseph Wright's suggestion of using the TeX Gyre Termes is a nice hack. Thank you for your help.

You may use any otf or ttf font installed on your system. I tried the code you linked to both with "Times New Roman" and "Minion Pro" My Times New Roman seems not to have oldstyle nums, but Minio does
