  Subtly different meanings? They have *completely* different meanings.

  "Than" is used when comparing things. "My house is bigger than yours."

  "Then" is used when some event succeeds another, or to describe a moment
in time. "He arrived and only then he noticed that something was missing."
"Back then I was so naive."

  The two words are not related in any way.
