Thank you everybody very much, esp. Mojca! You almost saved my life! )

In spite of previously said, I don't like mixing Termes with Times New 
Roman, because e.g.  "M" in math looks rather like bold "M" in the text. 
But I made a hack which works for me:

     { name = "timesi.ttf", vector = "tex-mi-txpx2", skewchar=0x7F },

I just replaced texgyretermes-italic.otf with timesi.ttf. 
Unfortunatelly, I cannot modify the first line too, because some greek 
letters are missed then, but I believe one day I could manage this )

mathematics.make_font ( "tx-math", {
     { name = "texgyretermes-regular.otf", features = "virtualmath", 
main = true },
     { name = "rtxr.tfm", vector = "tex-mr" } ,
     { name = "rtxmi.tfm", vector = "tex-mi-txpx1", skewchar=0x7F },
     { name = "timesi.ttf", vector = "tex-mi-txpx2", skewchar=0x7F },
     { name = "txsy.tfm", vector = "tex-sy", skewchar=0x30, parameters = 
true } ,
     { name = "txex.tfm", vector = "tex-ex", extension = true } ,
     { name = "txsya.tfm", vector = "tex-ma" },
     { name = "txsyb.tfm", vector = "tex-mb" },
} )

Perfect for the moment! Thanks again!

Best regards,
Vyatcheslav
