I remember using a Mac Plus for newspaper layout in 1986, and I used their 'timesy' font a thousand times. It really BOTHERS me that I can't remember that name that I selected from the font menu a thousand billion times.

Perhaps it was one of those?

I remember using New York for a font with serifs, and Geneva for a serifless font, back when I was printing on an ImageWriter with an original Mac. When we switched to LaserWriters, the corresponding fonts were Times and Helvetica.
I don't remember when I first saw Times Roman on a Mac, but I think it was quite a bit later. I'm fairly sure that the first time I saw it was in an implementation of TeX, where it was imported from the UNIX world. I could be wrong about this, though.
