Update to Mac OS X 10.3.4 or later to avoid this issue.
If you're not ready to update, you can use this workaround:
- Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
- Type "Times RO" in the Search field to search for the font. A list of Times fonts appears.
- Drag "Times RO" font files to the Trash. Don't drag "Times New Roman" or other "Times" font files that may also appear in the search results.
- From the Apple menu, choose Restart.
This document will be updated as more information becomes available.
