Caveats

Each font family must go in a separate subpackage
It seems the link for the latest font pack zip is broken right now. An older (GPL) version is available from the downloads page, but it's missing a few fonts and the others are old versions

Additional information

This is a big (12+) pack of modern Unicode fonts. It used to be licensed as GPL+font exception, and is now OFL. Fedora users have expressed a need for those fonts a long time ago.
