How do I rename a font?

[btoth]

I downloaded a font called FREE3OF9.TTF for some barcodes. I can add the font to FontBook and use it in my apps just fine. But it shows up as "New". Is there a way to rename a font? Or does anyone know of some software that can do it?

You should be able to highlight it and change the name. Works for me.

Don't work for me though

I highlighted the font file and changed the name and then imported in Fontbook. The old Name is still there. (ttf font)

you would need to use something like fontlab/fontographer to repair and change the name of the font.


That's the only way to change it.

Yep -- the name of the font is embedded in the font itself and set by the person/company who made the font. Renaming the file will have no effect on the displayed name of the font.

I think Fontlab is the thing for me Thanks guys!
