How about making the exceptions clear, based on the Fedora fonts policy:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy#Naming

        The foundryname- prefix can optionally be skipped:
        - for entities that never released more than one font family, or
        - when the font project and the publishing entity are one and the same.
