In digital font systems, Times New Roman is usually the first font coded, and the font most often examined to determine the quality of the font system. Therefore, software designers and commercial organizations take particular care with it.
Because of its ubiquitous nature, Times New Roman has been influential in the subsequent development of a number of serif typefaces both before and after the start of the digital-font era. One notable example is Georgia, shown at right, which has very similar stroke shapes to Times New Roman but wider serifs.
A version of Times New Roman was 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 applications, especially web browsers and word processors. Microsoft has however replaced Times New Roman with Calibri, a sans-serif font, as the default font in some beta versions of Microsoft Office 2007 released in early 2006.

The differences between Times Roman and Times New Roman PS are mostly a trademark issue. Although there are subtle stylistic differences (for example, Linotype has slanted serifs on the capital S, Monotype's are vertical), they are invisible in body text at normal reading distances. Although there was a time when Times New Roman had different widths than Times Roman, when Microsoft licensed Times New Roman for Windows, they asked Monotype to match the Adobe/Linotype widths from the PostScript font; as such, the most common versions seen today have identical widths in common characters. A trademark or trade mark[1] is a distinctive sign of some kind which is used by a business to uniquely identify itself and its products and services to consumers, and to distinguish the business and its products or services from those of other businesses. ...
