Marcio,
remind to always mention your system and octave version.

Try using "Times"

otherwise you need to install the "Times New Roman" on cygwin.

$ cd /usr/share/fonts/TTF/
$ cp /cygdrive/c/windows/fonts/times* .
$ fc-cache

use xfontsel to visualize the available fonts for X

octave> print prova -demf

produces a file called "prova.emf" from available plot figure,
in emf format

$ file prova.emf
prova.emf: Windows Enhanced Metafile (EMF) image data version 0x10000
