So, given the naming scheme:

"Fedora font packages are named
[foundryname-][projectname-]fontfamilyname-fonts, in lowercase."

The foundryname is "tiresias". The projectname is "tiresias". 
Upstream thinks that the familyname is "tiresias", but there are arguably five
font families here:
"infofont"
"keyfont"
"lpfont"
"pcfont"
"signfont"

Since the naming guidelines say "When foundryname, projectname or
fontfamilyname contain the font or fonts affix, it should be skipped to avoid
foofont-fonts packages."

This means that I should skip the fontfamilyname as well. This leaves me with
"tiresias-fonts", which is the current naming and packaging structure.

Now, I could do:

tiresias-info-fonts
tiresias-key-fonts
tiresias-lp-fonts
tiresias-pc-fonts
tiresias-sign-fonts

But that would not be accurate. Please advise as to what I should do in this
scenario.
