Hi, As I'm attempting to create a package of the (great) Old Standard font, I have mail the founder and have got the answer (forwarded). The answer is quite harsh (if that I spare you the "anti-source building" paragraph. So we need to add a suffix to the name but I'm not imaginative for finding a good suffix (maybe "iced" as Nicolas propose), anyone of you have an lightning idea ?

I don't insist the name should be changed entirely, adding a suffix (say, "Old Standard FC") would be sufficient and even preferrable. The reason is that I could not update the source package on my site for more than a year (instead I was spending my efforts improving FontForge itself :), and the current FF version is not guaranteed to produce correct results with such old source files. This can lead to problems I have no intention to be responsible of.
