Times New Roman is exclusively a computer font. It is a MS word font that was invented in the early 80s. They are identical, the names are changed to protect the copywrite. This is a good case to illustrate how Rove (through surrogates) uses all sorts of distractions to keep the discussion on totally irrelevant issues. He will have his websites make this big stink out of some triviality, like the supposed difference between Times Roman and Times New Roman. This will take up a news cycle or two. He doesn't care if it is shown to be garbage, because the clarification will take up a news cycle or two also. It all boils down to stalling, stalling before the election. I'm not amazed that it fools people, but I am amazed that it fools people over and over again. store.adobe.com <font color=green> In 1931, The Times of London commissioned the Monotype Corporation, under the direction of Stanley Morison, to design a newspaper typeface. According to Morison: “The Times, as a newspaper in a class by itself, needed not a general trade type, however good, but a face whose strength of line, firmness of contour, and economy of space fulfilled the specific editorial needs of The Times.” Times New Roman, drawn by Victor Lardent and initially released in 1932, is the result. The Linotype version is called Times Roman. Research into legibility and readability led to a design that was unique in newspaper typography; it is based on old style (or Garalde) types, and has greater contrast and is more condensed than previous newspaper types. Times New Roman continues to be very popular, particularly for newspapers, magazines, and corporate communications such as proposals and annual reports.a</font>
