I do not know much about the font installation process, but I did notice that your TeXFont banner indicates that you use a really old version. My TeXFont says: [taco@glenlivet TED]$ texfont --help TeXFont 2.2.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2004 --fontroot=path : texmf destination font root (default:/opt/tex/texmf.local) ... so perhaps that is what is causing your problems?

The TeXfont I'm running is 2.2.1! (I know I added a little bit of .ttf processing code after 2.1)
I tried things manually without the --pattern option and got a
texnansi-microsoft-times.tex
If this file was generated, that's a good sign that the files were installed. What do you see in: (texlocal)\fonts\tfm\microsoft\times ? You can verify they were installed with: texexec --once texnansi-microsoft-times.tex (can also add --mode=compact to the CLI). HTH, adam
