[ EDIT: Yikes! I just noticed that my copy of hershey.inx differs from the version in github, in places where I made no changes. I have no idea where the changes came from, and I'm assuming but not knowing that I started from the hershey.inx that installed with eggbot. Yipers! ]
You are ever-so-correct about the name collisions - I've given up - every name in this corner of the galaxy is already in use - and am avoiding the name duplication by considering "EMS " prefix as part of the name. See files in dropbox:

Important - see my edit to my previous post, regarding hershey.inx.
The dropbox link is for hersheydata.py and hershey.inx, based on the current github versions. I've also taken the liberty of adding a version number to each, anticipating that as time goes on other fonts may be added.

Also, a "heads-up": I'll soon be sending a revised version of spiral-text which allows for selection from the new variety of fonts. Name-poem probably wants to be addressed as well.

Glad you found it, sorry it happened. 8^) At the least, I will manually look for more in the .svg files which define the characters.
The error is in the .svg file for that face, rather than in the Visual Basic transform-to-Hershey program. This most likely means it was a human error (mine), and therefore is hopefully not likely to be endemic.
I've remedied the error, but have to dash out the door this second, so won't get it into dropbox for about another ten hours.
I did, however, find an OFL font that perhaps fills a different vacancy in the growing Hershey fonts constellation. It looks rather like Courier, though it is said to be influenced by neon tube design (I must confess I don't see any neon influence, however.) It's at https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Nixie+One
I've added this derivative as EMS Nixish and EMS Nixish Italic. And documented both in the now-canonical style. And here it is in dropbox as version 2.0.2: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ve4qdcvda2utzbs/hersheydata v2_0_2.zip?dl=0
