I'm writing a paper for university and my professor has some formal specification. We shall use Times New Roman, Arial or Tahoma as fonts. Clearly he thougth about Word when specifying this. So I searched for a fitting font in PDFLaTeX. As I want to write with serifs, I looked for one similar to Times New Roman and found newtx.



Now I want to know if this has the correct density (is this the correct term?), so if I can write as much characters as my colleagues using word and one of the mentioned fonts and not more. (Our limit is given in pages.)



My question: Has newtx a density similar to Times New Roman, Arial or Tahoma?



If there are any references for looking up such values, I'd like to learn this too.

    As Times and Arial have very different "density" I would say that the professor doesn't care. But if you are unsure: write two pages and show him the result and ask.

There's a simple (and not necessarily correct) test you can do: Using the package typoaid you may look at values like the number of characters per width (tychperwidth) and maybe the values from the font table.



Compiling (as reference) the following document with Times New Roman:



documentclass[12pt]article
usepackagefontspec
setmainfontTimes New Roman
usepackagetypoaid
begindocument
tychperwidthrmfamilypar
tyfonttablermfamily
enddocument


I get values like



times



On the other hand, with nimbusserif and pdflatex I get



nimbus serif



documentclass[12pt]article
usepackagenimbusserif
usepackagetypoaid
begindocument
tychperwidthrmfamilypar
tyfonttablermfamily
enddocument


And finally with newtxtext and pdflatex:



newtxtext



documentclass[12pt]article
usepackagenewtxtext
usepackagetypoaid
begindocument
tychperwidthrmfamilypar
tyfonttablermfamily
enddocument


That shows how you may get very similar result. Please note that you may get even better results than your colleagues by using proper hyphenation with babel and the enhancements offered by microtype.
