Ugh.
At least Arial exists. And Helvetica. But Times New Roman? What is this, English class in the early aughts? 12pt font, double spaced with one inch margins?
Hell, if you want wanna make America great again make it Courier; tech bros'll think you're coding but we know you really just want to take us back to late 1800s when typewriters and bad economic policy were in. Or maybe something appropriate for this administration, like Wingdings.
Times New Roman is disgusting
It pisses me off when creative writing contests require this font in their submissions. It's probably the ugliest of the common fonts. Why anyone would want to read it is beyond me.
