[~solved] How to rename a TrueType typeface name?

Hi,

I have two versions of the same font (Monaco) that have the same name; one of them shows great on a terminal, but looks awful on desktop, and the other one behaves the opposite. I would like to keep the two fonts but there is a conflict with their names (i.e. only one of them is working).

Is there any way to rename a truetype typeface name to be able to use two fonts which originally shared the same name?

Thank you.

Re: [~solved] How to rename a TrueType typeface name?

I finally ended doing a dirty fix:

$ vim -b Monaco_Linux.ttf
:%s/Monaco/M0naco/g
:wq
$ fc-cache

Then I modified my urxvt font to M0naco and now Monaco looks great on applications and it also looks great on urxvt :-)
