The package contains the most recent version of the TeX Gyre Termes family of fonts in the PostScript Type 1 and OpenType formats. TeX Gyre Termes is based on the URW Nimbus Roman No9 L kindly released by URW++ Design and Development Inc. under GFL (independently of the GPL release accompanying Ghostscript). The Vietnamese glyphs were added by Han The Thanh.

TeX Gyre Termes can be used as a replacement for the renowned Times (new) Roman font (designed by Stanley Morison together with Starling Burgess and Victor Lardent for the London newspaper “The Times”; it was first issued by the Monotype Corporation in 1932 – see the article by Charles Bigelow for interesting details: http://www.truetype-typography.com/articles/times.htm).
