Times New Roman font missing in LibreOffice Writer

Question

There is no Times New Roman Font present in LibreOffice Writer. I looked upon the question Installing Times New Roman font. But I have the fonts installed on my system already, but is it not showing up on Libreoffice Writer?

My system specs

$ libreoffice --version
LibreOffice 5.1.2.2 10m0(Build:2)

Solution

Probably something happened during the installation of the fonts, and the package appears installed, although the fonts themselves were not. Simply purge the package and re-install it:

sudo apt-get remove --purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

A screen will appear, where you will have to accept the license agreement. Then the fonts will be downloaded and installed one by one.

Try this. Go to your Software manager and search for ttf-mscore.Reboot your PC or restart Libreoffice

The question which I mentioned states this solution! This is not working @Felippe

@TasdikRahman try to reinstall both LibreOffice and ttf-mscorefonts-installer. Via Synaptic is easier(mouse right button in the package's name > reinstall... ) maybe it will work.

I was getting popup notification windows every time Ubuntu started that ttf-mscorefonts-installer was missing fonts after I installed 16.04, and then after 2-3 months the missing font notifications disappeared by themselves, maybe because of a software update?.

It seems that LibreOffice has boycotted all of the core microsoft fonts. I'm wondering if there's any kind of workaround possible to at least get Times New Roman into LibreOffice. So odd that they would just block LibreOffice from being able to import those fonts entirely.
