How to Repair the Times New Roman Font File

Times New Roman is a typeface frequently used in office documents.

The Times New Roman typeface has been around since 1932 when it first appeared in The Times of London newspaper. Microsoft packaged the typeface with Windows 3.1 more than sixty years later. Times New Roman is available for purchase from Ascender Corporation in standard, bold, bold italic and italic formats. If your Times New Roman font files have become corrupt because of a system crash, virus or other malfunction of your computer, you can legally replace the damaged files without repurchasing them.
