Michael Spivak (author of AmS-TeX and LAmS-TeX) has developed a
set of fonts for typesetting math in Times Roman. The fonts are
reasonably priced (~$100 depending on whether one is commercial
or educational). There's no built-in LaTeX support. I have a
mathtime.sty file under development (I need to fix \boldmath
support to properly switch back to cm (the mathtime fonts don't
have bold math symbols) and update the documentation). I will
distribute the file on request, but would prefer that people wait
for the official release which should come later this month
(definitely before I leave for Guatemala at the end of the
month).
