Make a shell script using this:

#!/bin/sh
 ls * | while read f
  do
    if [ -f $f ]; then
      if [ "$f" != "`echo \"$f\" | tr A-Z a-z`" ]; then
       mv -iv "$f" "`echo \"$f\" | tr A-Z a-z`"
      fi
    fi
  done

Run the script in the same directory that contains the fonts you want to 
add. Once the script is finished, all fonts in that directory will have 
lower case names.
