Some preliminary observations (not a full review).

There is a policy in Fedora that the requirements assumptions are minimal as far
as the host system is concerned.  That is no xfs requirement and even no
fontconfig requirement.  Check the bitstream-vera-fonts spec in core and
dejavu-fonts and mgopen-fonts spec in extras.

An explanation of the policy I could find is in
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2005-May/msg00887.html

So drop the requires and just check for the existence of fc-cache in %post and
%postun.  Also, you only need to %ghost the fonts.cache-1 file, since the spec
will not deal with xfs specifics.

Another thing is that the license of this package is LGPL, while it is derived
from bitstream-vera.  The bitstream vera fonts have a somewhat more complicated
license, distributable with restrictions.  I wonder if it is allowed to
distribute a derivative work of the bitstream fonts under LGPL.

I could not assign this bug to me for review, since only the "Leave as New"
option was present.
