The information I was able to find on the subject was murky, and left it
unclear (at least for me) whether the two fonts are the same.
However, I did compile my document with Palatino, and it was nearly as
economical (in terms of space) as Times New Roman.
I read somewhere that Palatino Linotype took up MORE space than Times
New Roman, which is why I suspect that P. Linotype is /not /
the same as Palatino, even though the letter shapes might be similar.
NIH probably chose P. Linotype precisely because it allows you to put
fewer words on the page than, say, Times New Roman,
to protect the sanity of the poor reviewers.

In my experience Palatino (in LyX) and Palatino Linotype always takes
more space than Times (New) Roman (which was designed for newspaper-type
narrow columns) given that the point size is the same. I have used both
Palatino (URW Palladio) in linux and mac AND Palatino Linotype on
Windows in the same documents with LyX and the space "economies" vary
only slightly even in documents of several hundred pages.

Since NIH now wants us to use Palatino Linotype (among several other,
uglier fonts), I tried to find it in the Lyx font list, but could
only find Palatino, which is apparently different from Palatino
Linotype. Where can I find Palatino Linotype so I could add it to
the Lyx font list?
Thanks,

Ehud Kaplan,
Were you told that Palatino in the LyX font list is not Palatino
Linotype? Inspected closely, the letter forms in LyX's Palatino look
just like Palatino Linotype. The letter spacing could be different,
but the letterforms themselves look right.
