Those other pages that were approved yesterday by FPC (minutes not posted yet)
may also be relevant for VLGothic
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Font_package_splitting_rules_(2008-12-21)
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Font_package_naming_(2008-12-22)

You probably want to perform the naming changes at the same time.
To change a srpm naming, the current procedure is to orphan the old package in
rawhide, and post a review request with the new name (I'll approve it as a
matter of course if you do so)

This will be discussed this evening by FESCO, you may want to add some input
here
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/RenamingPackages

As for the upgrade path, you have two choices:
1. If there is a clear mapping between the old packages and the new packages,
use obsoletes inside the packages
2. If there is not use a compat package to garbage collect the old packages as
has been done for dejavu in rawhide
