I will vote that this must be fixed in yum side (or fontconfig or

It could be that a policy is needed. Similar to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Non-ASCII_Filenames
but for RPM Tags (Provides, Requires, Obsoletes, …).
As long as the encoding of those tags cannot be specified, it must be
assumed that it is UTF-8.
Also:
[tasaka1@localhost ~]$ rpm -q vlgothic-p-fonts
vlgothic-p-fonts-20100416-3.fc14.noarch
[tasaka1@localhost ~]$ rpm -q --provides vlgothic-p-fonts | grep "ゴシック"
font(vlpゴシック)
It doesn't cause the repo metadata parser to complain, so probably
it's UTF-8.
So I guess this issue will affect other fonts related packages.
I share those concerns.
