I'm talking about fontname as used by fontconfig (fc-query with the pkgkit
format as used to generate rpm font metadata)

It is perfectly possible to have a srpm that only generates subpackages with
different names. rpm will only generate a bitmap-fonts rpm from the
bitmap-fonts srpm if you put some files in it

If you don't have any doc for console, I guess it will be a doc-less subpackage
:)

The main use of -common if when you have bulky shared documentation (very
often, big pdf files in the font world)
