Times New Roman

What do I have to do to get this font? In OpenOffice I can select Times, but not also Times New Roman. Times is of no use, because it's a printer font and some characters get garbled when they are printed. At some point I was able to select also Times New Roman, then again not. I have no idea what I did...

I have these pkgs installed:
openoffice-base 1.1.4-3
fontconfig 2.3.0-3
freetype1 1.3.1-2
freetype2 2.1.9-2
ttf-ms-fonts 1.3-6

I really, really need this font... thanks for any help.

Re: Times New Roman

ttf-ms-fonts did it for me.

Re: Times New Roman

It's part of the ttf-ms-fonts package. Try restarting X.

Re: Times New Roman

restarting X doens't help. But I got it working, sort of ... I disabled that font in KDE contol center and enabled it again. Then openoffice finally recognized the font, but after reboot it was gone again. Now everytime I use this font in openoffice I have to disable/enable it in kcontrol. I noticed the same happens with some other fonts, like Comic Sans MS.

EDIT: FIXED IT! It was the font path in xorg.conf, I don't know why I didn't think of this before roll
