I installed newly updated packages and as far as I can see, they work
fine now.

However, there are descriptions below in "IPA Font License Agreement":

Article 3 (Restriction)

1. If a Derived Program is Redistributed pursuant to Paragraph 4 and 7
   of the preceding Article, the following conditions must be met :

   [snip]

     (4)No one may use or include the name of the Licensed Program as a
     program name, font name or file name of the Derived Program.

Do you think there shouldn't be any problems if we use 'IPA*' for names
of the packages, that include converted ttf files ?

Best,
