I am not so sure a fix is needed. At the moment, the only
for "adobename" is inconjunction with Type1 fonts. Fonts using
the new Agl you referenced below will likely be OTFs. For those
the name is irrelevant, while on the other hand 'fixing' the
names may break usage with older fonts.

Best wishes,
Taco
