How can I rename TruType fonts? I installed them off a Fonts CD
: and they are all numbered. Is there a way to rename them?

Right-click a file and rename it. Enable the ability to see hidden file
extensions from the View tab in Folder Options so you can see the
".ttf" part of the file name. Don't change the extension.

You don't actually give the font a new name, but you can give the file a new
name.
Copy it to a directory other than the fonts directory. Rename the file- take
read only attributes off if needed, it will often be set when copied off a
CD- then move to the fonts directory.

That is the font name, it's not the file name. It is the file name you can
change not the font name- that is part of the font put together by the font
publisher and they won't want you to change the name of their font.

I haven't tried it but did you try it?
Can you clarify exactly what you want to do?
Do you only want to rename the file name of the .ttf files?
If so, then surely FontRenamer is for that purpose to do it in bulk.
To do one at a time, just rename the files. (Ensure the attributes are
not "read only" )

Why on earth would you want to do this?
"FuturaBlack BT.ttf need to change the Typefacename to: Futura Bk
BT?"
You don't want to change the Typefacename and that does not appear to
be what FontRenamer does anyway.
