Times New Roman font displaying incorrectly

Hello!

Currently writing my thesis and find my self with the same issue. However I can not find TNR anywhere on my mac. I'm definitely no technological genius, but I've found my way to Font book, and tried to restore, yet no TNR. I have also managed some how to fins two Libraries in finder some how with two different Font folders with different content, but no TNR there either only Times, which won't be accepted as font in my thesis. In word it says TNR but it's clearly helvetica being used. I've also tried to press the font replacement thingy in word, but it says that all fonts in use is in this document are available. So i don't know what to do. I used to be able to write in TNR with my former word version, yet when i open old documents written in TNR they appear in Helvetica as well. please help!

TTimes New Roman is a Microsoft font. If you had an old demo of Office or Word, it was bundled with the OS and will migrate over as you update or change machines if you use Migration Assistant.

You may still find it on the Microsoft site. Installing the demo of Word or Office 2011 will install it also.

Times New Roman is a Microsoft font.

Actually, it's a font created by Monotype Corporation. Both Office for Mac and OS X install a copy of it. If a user has never installed any MS Office product, Times New Roman should still be on your system in the /Library/Fonts/ folder. The only reason it wouldn't be is someone deleted the fonts from the drive.

These should be on virtually every Mac from at least Leopard, 10.5.x forward:

Times New Roman Bold Italic.ttf

Times New Roman Bold.ttf

Times New Roman Italic.ttf

Times New Roman.ttf

Back up all data before proceeding.

Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.

Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.

Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.

If you still have problems, then from the Font Book menu bar, select

File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...

You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.

Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

I have the exact same problem, and I just tried all this, and it didn't work. Like the OP, I have even tried reinstalling Office 2016. I'm on El Capitan, on an MBP Early 2011.

I took a look at this thread. After looking in /Macintosh HD/Library/, I discovered that Times New Roman was sitting in the "Fonts Disabled" folder. I moved everything in that folder to the "Fonts" folder and the issue was resolved.

Macintosh HD> Library > Fonts and find Times New Roman, and click on it. It will lead you to Font Mangement where you will find Times New Roman is displayed as "off", right click on it > enable font. Problem solved!

Try Font Collections under your document's font bar drop down options. Times New Roman is under "Web."

Actually I tried every thing I could find, but turns out by updating my mac it came back with a bunch of other fonts. Thank you so much for your reply though, I'm just happy it worked at last!
