Problem

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.
