Helpfully turns cryptic names into plain English. BUT...some of those names (*.FON, mostly) are hard-coded into Windows and Windows applications, and changing their names makes them unavailable. Windows and other programs will instead use some other font, and as a result many dialog windows will be misformatted.

Since there won't be any error messages from the affected programs, you may have to do some guessing.
