| | style="color: #854685" | example: at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/FontsSpecTemplate I see that packagers are invited and guided to file the %description field of the spec file. As TTFs have such an entry in NAME table, how would it be possible to have both fields synced, and even better, description made available upstream (as it’s rarely filed by font "maker").

We quickly experimented it in fontmatrix and it rocks, modulo non {O,T}TFs fonts and those which have inconsistant Panose number. Could it be a requirement (AFAIK it used to be for windows fonts) or any other means which would provide an equivalent service?
