Well, fontpackages used to do no processing on the name the packager gave to 
%_font_pkg and many packagers got it wrong, resulting in lots of back and forth
getting them to fix it. So now it massages the name given in argument to try to
correct it. It fixes many human problems and improves packager poductivity.

I *really* do not want to add any more package naming processing to
fontpackages. It is already quite over-engineered without needing to handle a
fixed list of historical exceptions to guidelines. Given that this is the
*only* font package that fails because of an underline, would it be possible to
rename it to use the standard fedora package name separator ?

I'm quite sure the guidelines exception list was written to avoid unnecessary
work on existing packages, but trying to maintain it will have the reverse
effect now.
