The displayed font is definitely not `Times New Roman'. It seems that
the font substituted by FontConfig is a CJK font using half-width
glyphs, and there it sometimes happens that the `\' slot gets replaced
with the Yen sign `¥', for compatibility with ancient Japanese
practice.
I think there is nothing to be done here, since it displays a font
problem (or bug).
