Because of the side effects (other programs relying on that font, for example) I would not exchange the files themselves. In your particular case I would patch a copy of the EXE file, replacing the font name by the wished one. Take care that you will have to fill the remaining bytes with zeros.<br />
Obviously that only works if the new name is smaller than the original one.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We are running an application that has hardcoded Tahoma font. We would like to change this. Is it possible to rename the tahoma.ttf file (tahoma_old.ttf) and copy in another font file on top of it? For example<br />
<br />
copy arial.ttf tahoma.ttf<br />
<br />
Does this work or would it mess something up?
