Could you send me your input file(s)?
Last time (yesterday) when I used \usepackage{times} in my latex2e
files, itworked OK, but you probably mean something different
with the postscript fonts.


Anyway, the current *TeX* maintainer, Nils Rennebarth <nils@nus.pan-net.de>
has changed email-address, and seems not too responsive to mail
I sent to nils@debian.org (altough it _is_ the same nils).
So, maybe I'll try to fix this, if I manage.

Could you also tell me where to find teTeX? (if CTAN, then never
mind, I'll find it).

BTW, if anyone else is working on the *TeX* packages, please tell me.

Thanks,
