- 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).
