Looking at the latex sources (latex.ltx), one sees that latex creates 
the fd file name by prepending the encoding (here "U") to
the font family (here "OrnementsADF"). Then it tries to load the fd file 
first in all lowercase and if this does not succeed, then as is. Thus 
there are two possibilities to name this file correctly:
"uornementsadf.fd" or "UOrnementsADF.fd", but not the mixed version 
currently in the package.
