-Personally, I recommend giving up on Times for two reasons: there is NO

-readable on paper either. 

I must differ with you here:  replacing the Times provided by Apple
with the Adobe screen-font version is a solution to the problem.  The
Adobe version is *very* readable--as good as bookman, etc.  (Believe
it or not--I didn't believe it either, until I saw it.)

The Adobe version is available from info-mac.
