It is not a broken font. Click on any word in your document. Then
Format > Character. Click the Font tab. At the bottom of the Character
window there is a statement as to whether the same font is used as your
display font and printer font. Yours probably states that these two use
different fonts.
If this is the case (different fonts), you need to install Times New
Roman. File > Wizard >Install fonts from the web will do that for you.
