Is there anyway to change the name of a font in windows without downloading an external application, I've tried right-click, properties, and changing the name, but i can't apply the changes, even after taking ownership of the file. Any suggestions?
the staff can go ahead and move this if they want, wasn't sure whether to put this in General or Software.

Don't think you can change it once windows has it registered.
Try to copy it out of the system folder to another folder, rename it, re-import it, then delete the old one.
