- Do not refer to fonts as software, some authors disagree with this (even though smart font instructions are software)
- I'm not sure a font author will think of his release as a "package"
- Many authors won't have the faintest idea what Fedora is some Linux/OLPC/Red Hat references may help
- Very often we do not know that foo is derived from bar — that's one of the questions we want to ask authors
- It's often difficult to explain why we do not want to use pre-build hand-tuned fonts and insist on rebuilding from fontforge sources (when they are available)
