Change Font Family, Rename Font

Any special reason for changing the font details? (just curious...)

anyway i found this little tool: http://fontforge.org/ (Which is cross platform and open source!)

hope it helps :)

TTFedit did the job for me. It has a much smaller footprint and was easier to use for me.

Just start ttfedit.jar, open a .ttf, select the "name" tab on the left side, edit the family names, subfamily names, etc. and save as a new .ttf.

In my case, I had to wipe Photoshop's font cache before my changed font got recognized.

I know that is a bit older, but I found a method for .otf files:

1. Download FontForge
2. Edit the three names (>Element,>Fontinfo) and export it as a .ttf file.
3. Then grab this old Windows program: https://www.microsoft.com/typography/property/fpedit.htm
4. Open the created .ttf with fpedit and skip the steps (just click next till the program is ready)
5. Click on "Save as"
6. Be happy

If you upload the font's file (with the new name) to the server you can use it after defining it as a font. For example: If I want Arial to be called Ari, I can just change the file's name and upload it to my server. Then I will just write the following line in the css file:

@font-face{font-family:Ari; src:url('Ari.ttf');}

font-family is the name of the new font.

src is the file's address.

To use the new font write something like: H1{font-family:'Ari';}


As to the first part of your question, I don't understand what you mean. Please clarify.
