Font 'Times New Roman' does not support style 'Regular'

Anybody hear of this one? System.ArgumentException: Font 'Times New Roman' does not support style 'Regular'.

I've got a WinForms app that is deployed via ClickOnce. For some reason a number of users are getting this error. I can see getting this error because of picking a non-standard font, but Times New Roman, Regular? Is there a service pack or something that people need?

I would love to hear from anybody that has figured out a solution to this problem.

What is Times New Roman in Microsoft Word?

Times New Roman was the default in Word from 1992 through Word 2003 (Windows) and 2004 (Mac). It remained so for 15 years. With Word 2007 (Windows) and 2008 (Mac), Microsoft made their then-new Calibri the new default font.

The link in the answer at binary fortress no longer works. I had this issue with "Font 'Arial' does not support style 'Regular'" after uninstalling software. Managed to fix by reinstalling the font from the windows font folder: Hit Start->Run c:\windows\fonts\arial.ttf

This brings up a window which has an install option at the top. Hit install.

One solution that seems to work is moving the font file to another directory, then reinstalling it (as explained further in http://www.binaryfortress.com/Forum/index.php?topic=691.0)
