Thanks for this, utmr8t.tfm is indeed not on my system at work which is
older. I have just installed Gerben's i-installed TeX-fat.dmg on my home
machine. It will be interesting to see what is there. I mistakenly thought
that I was expecting 8a on the end for ec encoding. I do have ec-utmr8a.tfm
manufactured by texfont by type-tmf.dat dated 11/9/01 even thought the
overall context is 23/10/02. Appropriate lines duplicated below.

# urw times 

--en=? --ve=urw --co=times --so=auto

--en=? --ve=urw --co=times --so=auto --sl=* utmr8a
--en=? --ve=urw --co=times --so=auto --sl=* utmb8a
