   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

I'm assuming you mean the names that are used within Corel (not outside, i.e. in
ATM or other packages like Pagemaker or whatever--Corel's fonts aren't directly
usable outside of Corel anyway).  This is very easy.  There is a file in your Corel
directory that contains pairs of filenames and font names, and you just change the
font name for whatever file: Ottawa becomes Optima, etc.  I'm not at my PC, and I
can't remember the filename, but it should be fairly obvious: coreldrw.ini or
something.  If you can't find it, email me and I can give you more details.  Regards.
