Sounds to me as though your computer doesn't have Calibri font installed.
To check, start a new document, then try to select and use Calibri font.
If it 
is not installed it won't show in the list of available fonts.

PS; I never understand why people like Times New Roman so much.  
I always use Arial, which is much nicer looking (IMO).
