Windows – How to Change a TTF Font Name

fontsrenametruetypetruetype-fontswindows

How can I change a font name (not the ttf filename, but the actual font name)?

For example, I want to rename "Tahoma" to "Tahoma7".

My goal is to rename the Tahoma font installed on Windows 7 and install it on Windows XP under different name, so I will have both Tahoma fonts installed on a single operating system. The two fonts are slightly different, and I'd like to have them both.

FontForge may be of use:

FontForge -- An outline font editor that lets you create your own postscript, truetype, opentype, cid-keyed, multi-master, cff, svg and bitmap (bdf, FON, NFNT) fonts, or edit existing ones. Also lets you convert one format to another. FontForge has support for many macintosh font formats.
