Set the Office 2008 default font to Times New Roman
Authored by: sipatel on Thu, Feb 7 2008 at 1:53PM PST

I've just deleted Times New Roman (TNR) because it was playing havoc with Safari pages, even eBay listings. Anywhere that a web page had TNR as default font, the text appeared in Arabic.

Once I removed the TNR font from my Fonts folder, normal service resumed.

Anyway, TNR is a crappy font -- I converted my daughter's disertation to Minion Pro and none of the lecturers/examiners commented on the change, and she still passed with First Class Honours!!
