At a guess, this either was part of Tk 4.0 (as far back as I can
remember there font name tricks being about) or came in with the new
font system (don't remember when that happened). If memory serves, it is
needed because font family names can be specified at the script level as
all lower-case (common with names from XLFDs).

I'm hesitant to change this code, not because I think what it does is
right, but rather because I don't have any feeling at all for who and
what would be affected. Forcing people to use a workaround who
previously did not need to... that's a good way to get people to accuse
you of breaking things unnecessarily.
