   I have recently begun using CorelDraw 3.0 and would like to change
   the odd names it gives to fonts to the more correct names. I tried 
   changing the names in the win.ini file but the changes were only used when 
   I entered the fonts section of the Control Panel. What do I have to do to
   make other programs use the new names. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

The `Windows Face Name' - which is what is shown font menus - is in the PFM
(Printer Font Metric) file. You can't change it without creating a new PFM.
