Well, your choices for that file are :
1. drop it, wait for complains, ask whoever complains to fix the file
2. write a fontforge (or other) script to fix the file yourself at build time
3. enhance fontconfig to read the real font name (assuming it is present at all
in the font file)
4. remap the font name in a fontconfig rule (see the remapping-font-template).
But this is still a workaround, not a complete solution, and you'll get nagged
every time the font audit scripts run

Continuing to deploy a file that does not work in fontconfig is not acceptable,
that sends the wrong message to third-parties.
