    You were close, but they switch it up a little bit for the stylistic ones.
    Here is how I have them in my fonts.xml file:

    <font name="TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT" ttf="C:\WINNT\FONTS\TIMESBD.TTF"
    embed="true" subset="true">
            <alias name="TimesNewRoman-Bold"/>
    </font>
    <font name="TimesNewRomanPS-BoldItalicMT" ttf="C:\WINNT\FONTS\TIMESBI.TTF"
    embed="true" subset="true">
            <alias name="TimesNewRoman-BoldItalic"/>
    </font>
    <font name="TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT" ttf="C:\WINNT\FONTS\TIMESI.TTF"
    embed="true" subset="true">
            <alias name="TimesNewRoman-Italic"/>
    </font>

    Those declarations should work for you. Hope that helps out...

    Thanks,
    RG
