The problem is that the font has FontName TimesNewRomPSMT (PSMT = 
Postscript monotype, apparently). Now, the font is picked is picked on 
basis of its filename. We should open each TTF, and look for the 
FontName, and select the one with the matching FontName. I'll try to 
have a look - but I am fairly busy at the moment, so it might take a few 
weeks.
