Naming of font packages

Hi,

I need some opinions about the naming of font packages, and finally a
decision.

At the moment all font packages in Fedora are named FONTNAME-fonts.
Ignacio suggested a change to font-FONTNAME. Debian obviously uses
ttf-FONTNAME.
For me it makes sense to have a prefix instead of a suffix. Lookup for
different fonts in a sorted package list would be much easier. But this
would mean a renaming of all existing font packages in Core and Extras.

So what to do?

TIA,
Frank
