If I recall correctly, there is no "Times New Roman" on a Macintosh.  It's =
just plain "Times."  Someone might be jerking your chain.

Could someone with a Mac please look at this GIF:

and let me know if the typeface used for Equine Energies is a standard
width Times New Roman?

The woman who made this (using Quark Express) insists that she used
"Times New Roman" and didn't change the width at all - just adjusted the
kerning.

I know that Mac & PC typefaces aren't exact duplicates, but I have to
shrink the letters horizontally quite a bit to get them to match in
Photoshop on my PC.

Thanks.

(Also - isn't the standard serif typeface for Macs called "Times", not
"Times New Roman"?)
