What you want to do has been abused many times in the past, where someone takes an existing font, changes only its name and the copyright information, then tries to pass it off as an original work, or recreation. Now, if what you want to do is change the font name, not the file name, that can also be done, but I'm not going to tell you how.ĭion H, font designers don't want to let you do this to their fonts. As far as I know, you should be able to rename any others. You also won't be able to rename Microsoft Sans Serif, or the font currently selected in Notepad. I don't know if you have a different display font for Windows 7, but if you do, you wouldn't be able to change it, either. Tahoma, with Windows XP, is the standard display font, so it can't be uninstalled even momentarily. There are a few fonts you can't change in this manner. Rename the files, delete the copies that are currently installed, then cut/paste the renamed versions back into your installed fonts folder to reinstall them. For the ones you want to rename, copy the files from the search results, and paste them into another folder. The results should list all of your installed fonts. What you can do is open a Search Window, and browse for the directory C:\Windows*\Fonts, (*or whatever the name is for your operating system folder), and don't specify any file name or type, just the search location. NEVER rename a font in your installed fonts folder, it will be corrupted in the process. If you want to rename fonts that have already been installed, that's trickier, but not impossible. Dion.H, if you haven't installed a font yet, you can just right-click -> rename the file.
