Pierre,
Thanks! It was "Source Serif Pro Semibold" that was what I was after. The
example I chose in the Wikipedia article was the style I was after and it
*appeared* to be what Times New Roman should have been as that was how it
appeared in the character map, but it was not so.
Thanks again,
David
