Caveats
- It'd be mighty nice to convince the author to add his licensing info in the zip (as a detached txt file, in the pdf, in the font metadata)
- PDF is nice doc but needs to be compressed or even split in a -doc subpackage
Additional information
Needed to complete our Unicode coverage. Plus, the fonts are very nice.
The Fonts SIG takes loving care of Fedora fonts. Please join this special interest group if you are interested in creating, improving, packaging, or just suggesting a font. Any help will be appreciated.
