Document Classes ⇒ documentclass{sig-alternate} to times new roman

[ozzy91]

How can I change the documentclass{sig-alternate}
(from the ACM SIG Template - Alternate)
to times new roman?

[Johannes_B]

The class already uses Times for journal submission.

The class already uses Times for journal submission.

The ACM SIGPLAN is using times new roman as font.
BUT the ACM SIG Template - Alternate isn't using times new roman.

I want to use times new roman in the ACM SIG Template - Alternate because the font of the main text doesn't look like times new roman

No this didn't work

[Johannes_B]

Well, it did for me. So, what did not work? Did you get funny smiley faces instead of end-sentence-periods?
By now, the unclear question got even more unclear, so please do what you should have done from the beginning: ask a question supported by a minimal working example, add a proper problem description and add a link to the template you are using.

I using this template
https://www.sharelatex.com/templates/55 ... b00c043d2f

As you can see it is standard not written in times new roman.

Down this post you can see .cls file that i have added. You can see that i have added \usepackage{mathptmx}

You have drastically changed the class file, which is copyrighted. That is not good.

Loading package mathptmx between \documentclass and \begin{document} switches the main font to Times. I tested it. You should ask the editors of the journal you are contributing to if those changes are allowed or will be reverted.
