If you do not own the original and commercial MathTimes fonts you  
have to use Richard Kinch's belleek fonts:

	blex.pfb
	blsy.pfb
	rblmi.pfb

with

	mt-belleek.map

to make them known in the output stage.

Did you check that? Did you check what this rumour actually means?  
I.e. has it to do with some commercial fonts or with Richard Kinch's  
donation of belleek to the TeX community?

Have you learned to use kpsewhich to check for the existence of four  
files?

There *is* a simple way to include another (set of) font(s) to  
TeX ... always.

There won't be no future version of teTeX, probably.
