FontForge has no way to figure out whether it's making a legally possible request when adding a reserved font name, and a minority of OFL license users even use RFN's in the first place. Close fontforge#4434

I'm not qualified to provide a second set of eyes here. @davelab6, please advise. |

@frank-trampe I based my changes on Dave's comment here: #4434 (comment). Unless I missed something I followed them to the letter. |

Ah, okay. Let's merge this. |

Important to note: This will not change anyone's fonts, only new fonts! It's only triggered when "Add OFL" is pressed, as in, it's a convenience feature where we try to do the sane thing for most font authors who want to free their font.
