The Times New Roman font seems to have disapeared from my computer some how. Now when I try to view a web site that I have created using the Times New Roman font the text shows up in italics. I have Times New Roman Bold, Times New Roman Bold Italic and Times New Roman Italic but there doesn’t seem to be the regular Times New Roman and I think that when I try to use it, the Times New Italic is being used instead (does that make sense?). Anyways, is there a way to get the regular one back? Thanks for any help anyone can provide for me. ---

Go to your font folder and make sure it is there. If it is you probably changed your ie default font change it back. Or you changed your system default font ---

it’s not there, that’s what I’m saying. Only the other 3 are there…the bold, bold italic and italic…the normal Times New Roman isn’t there?? ---

You know, I did some quick and dirty research on this subject. And I found that Microsoft used to have the font for download on their site for free, but they discontinued that and to be able to download the fonts from most of the other sites you actually have to buy it!!! I think I would rather pop in my windows cd and browse through that for the file. ---

I noticed that too…everywhere I go, you have to pay for it. Should I re-instal my windows xp? will that get it back for me? Is re-installing it difficult to do? ---

Well in reinstalling you would have to format your drive and lose everything. You could pop in your Windows XP cd and instead of installing go into My Computer and right click on your D: drive and choose “Explore” and see if you can find the font on there, then copy it back onto your hard drive. ---

I tried to zip and send the font to you but Windows tells me “Access Denied.” That’s such crap - ■■■■ you Bill Gates! ---

My lame attempt to break through that protection and get this font in a .zip file. Not sure if it will work, hopefully I didn’t mess up the font in the process :-\ Let me know when you download it so I can remove it from my server, since technically this is illegal, but I thought it was just such crap that you have to pay for a font that you get free to start with.

But my font showed up in my font list in Photoshop (which is what I wanted to use it for) so I didn’t worry about what was wrong.
