   Are there any known problem with renaming PFB and PFM files of a type1 font?
   As far as I have tested it , it works, but who knows what kind of weird con-
   figurations exist out there...

Right, you can call them anything you like, as long as you either
`Remove' the old versions and `Add' the new ones using ATM, or
update both ATM.INI and WIN.INI to reflect the new names.  Renaming 
the files does not change the Windows Face Name shown in font menus,
or any of the other `font names' such as PS FontName, FullName or 
FamilyName. Most applications refer to the fonts via the
Windows Face Name (except TeX, which uses the file name).
