Unfortunately, some of the older Letraset/ITC fonts have such names and 
they're still being sold. They were bundled with a variety of products 
so they will be around for quite some time. Altogether, I believe 
allowing esacpe sequences (\., \:) or alternatively, allowing to address 
a font by its path name would be a remedy.

It is correct. Colon and period are legal characters in terms of the 
font format specification. So they can appear in family or full names, 
though it's obviously not recommended. They should not appear in 
PostScript font names. In this particular case, the PS Font Name is 
"SavoyeLetPlain", the family name is "Savoye LET" and the full name is 
"Savoye LET Plain:1.0".
