(I'm having a hard time figuring this one out and my google-fu is not helping.)

For a long time, my evince has used a strange Times-Roman font (with mis-aligned glyphs and weird kerning). It should instead be replaced by times new roman. I am not very familiar with fontconfig, but this see some output:

$ fc-match "Times New Roman"
DejaVuSerif.ttf: "DejaVu Serif" "Book"

$ fc-list : file | grep -iP "msttcorefonts/times"
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Times_New_Roman_Bold.ttf: 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/times.ttf: 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Times_New_Roman_Bold_Italic.ttf: 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Times_New_Roman_Italic.ttf: 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Times_New_Roman.ttf: 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/timesi.ttf: 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/timesbd.ttf: 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/timesbi.ttf: 

It seems to me that Times-Roman should use the existing times new roman to render, but that instead it is using DejaVu. I've tried changing the file .fonts.config but I still can't change that output.

My question: What should I put into the .fonts.config file to solve this problem?
