This is a bit vague as to, for e.g. if the scrollbar is drawn and works
correctly when it is on the left.

"I had resolved previously": then why not do whatever you did last time to
resolve it?

I guess you might have obtained a times.ttf file from somewhere (perhaps
C:\Windows\Fonts)

In which case, being aware [1] that fonts have moved from
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts to /usr/share/fonts, you'll probably want to obtain
that file again and put it in /usr/share/fonts/TTF
