I will vote that this must be fixed in yum side (or fontconfig or rpm).

This provides is automatically generated by /usr/lib/rpm/fontconfig.prov
and this reads:
--------------------------------------------------------
     13  fcquery=/usr/bin/fc-query
     14
     15  [ -x $fcquery ] || exit 0
     16
     17  # filter out anything outside main fontconfig path
     18  grep /usr/share/fonts/ |
     19  while read fn; do
     20      $fcquery --format '%{=pkgkit}' "${fn}" 2> /dev/null
     21  done
---------------------------------------------------------

So:
$ fc-query --format '%{=pkgkit}' MiriamCLM-Bold.ttf
font(miriamclm)
font(מרים)
font(:lang=he)
font(:lang=yi)

Also:
[tasaka1 at localhost ~]$ rpm -q vlgothic-p-fonts
vlgothic-p-fonts-20100416-3.fc14.noarch
[tasaka1 at localhost ~]$ rpm -q --provides vlgothic-p-fonts | grep "ゴシック"
font(vlpゴシック)

So I guess this issue will affect other fonts related packages.
