TrueType Renamer1.0.0

Sure enough modern computers and operating systems come with less and less limitations thanks to years of evolution in technology. Just to solve some old issues related to fonts, TrueType Renamer can help batch-rename your entire font collection so it’s brought to a more elegant style to organize them with a few mouse clicks.

Advantages of a portable app

Note that the application requires no installation in order to function, so you can go ahead and launch it from the moment download is done. This also allows you to carry it around on a thumb drive, without the fear that stability of the target PC is affected, because no registry entries need to be modified to ensure functionality.Initial iterations of Windows had limited support in terms of file names, and this also affected length. As such, most files, including fonts were found under names difficult to read, at least when viewed in File Explorer. What the application does is to read their description and rename them in proper style.

Rename fonts before installing them

The process is both simple, and fast. Running the application brings up a small browse dialog to select the folder you want to process, without any other main window to simply drop it there, or context menu integration for an even faster selection. After renaming, you’re prompted with details regarding the status, and number of files successfully renamed.However, since name length stopped being an issues some time ago, chances are fonts you grab from the web are already properly named. Furthermore, the application is not capable of editing your Windows Fonts folder, so it’s best used with new fonts you download.

In conclusion

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that TrueType Renamer comes with good intentions, but is a little outdated by evolution in technology. Chances of stumbling upon poorly named fonts is minimum, and the lack of support for the system Fonts folder has a considerable impact on overall practicality.
