Thank you for your response.

The new version caters for extra requirements in some
languages that use this font - it is about 50% bigger in
size.

Unfortunately, rename would not be helpful because the
documents created elsewhere using this new version will
not recognize the renamed file - they look for Tahoma.
And I am at the moment unable to read thse documents
properly.

If I didn't really need it, I wouldn't acquire it in the
first instance, and be spending time and effort trying to
find out how to get it installed.
