[Freetype] ttmkfdir problem

I've been having problems with ttmkfdir not generating valid family names.  
I have a (Windows) Truetype font called Concielian Jet, freely available 
from

 http://www.1001fonts.com/font_details.html?font_id=1077

and this font works correctly on Windows boxes.

However, on my Redhat machines (both 7.2 which distributes Freetype 2.0.3 
and 7.3 which distributes Freetype 2.0.9), I am having great difficulty 
using this font, because ttmkfdir, which is run automatically by the xfs 
startup script, is generating an empty family name for this font:

address@hidden eds]$ ttmkfdir 
6
conc21.ttf -macromedia--medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-ascii-0
conc21.ttf -macromedia--medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-fcd8859-15
conc21.ttf -macromedia--medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
conc21.ttf -macromedia--medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15
conc21.ttf -macromedia--medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-2
conc21.ttf -macromedia--medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-9


Note the two dashes between macromedia and medium; there's supposed to be 
a family name there.  This makes the font inaccessible from apps, 
particularly Gimp.  Correct ttmkfdir output for other fonts:

arib____.ttf -macromedia-Arioso-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-ascii-0
arir____.ttf -macromedia-Arioso-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-ascii-0
chvor___.ttf -macromedia-ChevaraOutline-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-ascii-0
chvr____.ttf -macromedia-Chevara-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-ascii-0

Does anyone have an opinion on whether this is a bug in ttmkfdir?

Thanks,
Eric
