How can I setup font aliasing in operating system level I am using Fedora 26 and Libre Office, and when writing an MLA paper, I prefer saving the file to .docx format and use "Times New Roman" to let file sharing easy. However, I cannot install the font "Times New Roman" on my computer, and my satisfied alternation is "Nimbus Roman No9 L". Is it possible to let the operating system treat "Times New Roman" as "Nimbus Roman No9 L"? Copying and editing files with root privileges is okay for me.

You can make a copy of the font, rename it in FontForge to Times New Roman and use it that way, or you can install the msttcorefonts package to obtain the original font from here <
