What to Do With Multiple .traineddata Files of the Same Language?

[Ferretsroq]

I'm trying to train tesseract for a new font. I'm on OSX if that matters. I've followed these steps so far, but I'm confused what to do once you have the eng.traineddata file for the font. If I just move it to the /usr/local/share/tessdata directory, then there is a conflict with the already existing eng.traineddata that came with tesseract. What am I supposed to do in case of this conflict? 

I'm attaching all of the files made during the process since I'm not sure if I've just messed up elsewhere down the line. They're compressed into a .zip since it's not letting me upload some of them.

Usually if you have multiple traineddata for same language, you would give a distinct name to each eg.  eng and en2

Then if you want to use both
-l eng+en2
Or
-l en2+eng
Depending on which one u want to give priority to

To use ur own traineddata en2 only
-l en2
