From what I could understand of the Log, the following seems most relevant:
LaTeX Font Info: Redeclaring font encoding OML on input line 567.
LaTeX Font Info: Redeclaring font encoding OMS on input line 568.

With the psnfss package /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/latex/
psnfss/psnfss2e.pdf, you are able to use the Times fonts (slightly
different from Times New Roman, but that won't really matter for
most people). Try putting in your list of packages:
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage[scale=.92]{helvet}
\usepackage{courier}

Not knowing what I am doing, I certainly don't want to do that.
If you want to do the opposite--keep the body text as it is, and
change the typeface in the Intaglio graphics to match it better--you
could try using Latin Modern in Intaglio. The LM fonts aren't
provided with OS X, but I believe i-Installer will provide them if
you ask it nicely... others here can give more precise instructions,
I'm sure.
Again, I am too ignorant to ask nicely so I will just try changing Times
New Roman in the Intaglio files to Times and stay with the best match of
the two.
Well, thanks to everybody and, once again, I have been reminded that "le
mieux est l'ennemi du bien"—if /not/ in the accepted sense of the aphorism.
Very grateful regards to all.
