01

Locate the documented CG Times files

HP’s 2009 technical reference for the Color LaserJet Enterprise CP4020–CP4520 series, printed pages 37–38, lists CG Times among the default fonts installed through that product’s Full Installation. Its table identifies Regular as CGTR45W.TTF, Bold as CGTR65W.TTF, Bold Italic as CGTR66W.TTF and Italic as CGTR46W.TTF. This is a dated, product-specific installation record, not a promise that every current HP driver or Windows installation supplies those files.

02

Separate the family name from an apparent replacement

The same reference separately lists Times New Roman among Windows basic fonts and Times among the product’s default fonts. Treat those names as separate records when auditing a document. Record the exact family, style and file you actually possess, rather than renaming another serif CG Times. The Times New Roman guide provides context for that different named family. Lora and EB Garamond below are independent comparison faces; neither preview reproduces the original CG Times software.

03

Check an old document before changing its type

Keep an unchanged copy and note the application, driver and destination printer used for the reference output. Find one paragraph with a nearly full final line, an italic passage, a bold heading and a numeric table. Compare those passages after any substitution: inspect wrapping, page count, italic width and column alignment before accepting the new layout. If the original installation media or license is unavailable, do not assume a filename in an old manual establishes a current download right. The font-file guide explains file formats; the homepage Unicode text options change characters and do not install CG Times or preserve its metrics.

GOOD QUESTIONS

Your questions, answered.

Does the old HP manual mean CG Times is installed on my current computer?

No. The cited record describes a particular product’s 2009 Full Installation. Inspect your own available fonts and files before relying on it.

Can I call a Times New Roman replacement CG Times?

Keep the actual family name. HP lists these names separately, and a substitution still needs a document-level layout comparison.
