       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.

   Chris clearly stated that he is referring to Corel DRAW 3.0, which uses
   TrueType fonts.  Previous versions of Corel DRAW have included information
   regarding changing of font names.  In those versions, the change was known
   ONLY to Corel DRAW.  But since version 3.0 provides all those fonts which
   can be shared with virtually all other Windows applications, it is very
   desirable to change the names of the True Type fonts to the names that we
   all know them by.  I'd like the answer also.

All right, all right, my mistake.  I read the post a little too quickly, OK?
(And I still haven't gotten my hands on 3.0, so I wasn't aware of the improve-
ment.)  As I told Chris via email, I haven't worked with TT fonts, but I have
worked extensively with PS fonts: with the latter, the name is read by ATM
from inside the PFB file (it's right at the top).  Change this and you've changed
the name of the font.  I assume it's more or less the same with TT fonts, but I
may be wrong.  Take a peek inside your font file.
