Just a caveat: Besides LyX mentioned by Piotr I think these fonts are
also used by Mozilla/Firefox/... for displaying MathML content. Most
likely these programs use these non-obvious font names to access these
fonts. Hence one probably has to be careful when changing the names.
Maybe one has to introduce appropriate aliases in fontconfig or
something like that.
