In article <1992Aug18.011500.25424@nic.umass.edu> s0558191@titan.ucc.umass.edu (Chris Belanger) writes: 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 Chris Belanger 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. --Dave.
