I changed to _ because Bravura's metadata file is named
bravura_metadata.json in the GitHub repo, and I wanted to be consistent
with what I found there. However, I took a closer look at the SMuFL specs
<https://w3c.github.io/smufl/gitbook/specification/font-metadata-locations.html>,
and it looks like that naming scheme isn't specifically mentioned. I guess
I'll have to ask about it on the W3C mailing list.
