Anybody hear of this one? System.ArgumentException: Font 'Times New Roman' does not support style 'Regular'.

I've got a WinForms app that is deployed via ClickOnce. For some reason a number of users are getting this error. I can see getting this error because of picking a non-standard font, but Times New Roman, Regular? Is there a service pack or something that people need?

I would love to hear from anybody that has figured out a solution to this problem.

The link in the answer at binary fortress no longer works. I had this issue with "Font 'Arial' does not support style 'Regular'" after uninstalling software. Managed to fix by reinstalling the font from the windows font folder: Hit Start->Run c:\windows\fonts\arial.ttf

This brings up a window which has an install option at the top. Hit install.
