'''Times New Roman''' is a [[serif]] [[typeface]], produced by [[Monotype]] for [[Microsoft]], and distributed with every copy of [[Microsoft Windows]] since version 3.1. As with Times on the [[Apple Macintosh]], it is used as the default font in many [[application]]s, especially [[Web browser]]s and [[word processor]]s.

Times New Roman is based on the original [[Times Roman]] font developedMicrosoft's name for the ''[[The Times|Times]]'' in the mid-1930s, also by Monotype; Times New Roman was the first [[TrueType]] version of Times, and differs from Times Roman in name (rueType]] version of Times New Roman PS, a narrower variant of Monotype's classic Times New Roman typeface.
The PS version was introduced to match the metrics of Times Roman (a Postscript core font by [[Linotype]],). Times' first licensee, owns the Times Roman trademark in the [[United States of America|USA]]) and very slight differences in design New Roman (the original typeface) was developed for the ''[[The Times|Times]]'' in the early 1930s, and was designed by Starling Burgess, Victor Lardent and Stanley Morison. Though no longer used by ''The Times'', it is still widely used for typesetting books (unlike the PS version).

In 2004, the U.S. State Department announced that as of February 1, 2004,
all US diplomatic documents would use Times New Roman 14 instead of
the previous [[Courier New]] 12.
