Looks nice so here is a complete review:

1. probably better to use
%define archivename %{fontname}-%{version}

2. The summary needs a little work
(for example 'Geometric sans-serif font inspired by Futura')

3. you do not need to add "sfd" to the name, renaming is only a requirement for
OFL fonts, GPL does not require it

4. beteckna.se seems dead, no need to reference it in the description

5. we already have a licensing field, do not include "The font is free, 
licensed under terms of the GNU GPL" in the description

6. You're wrapping your description lines too short, Fedora standard is 79
columns not 50

7. do package AUTHORS LICENSE CHANGELOG as %doc too

8. I see beteckna is actually 3 different font families: Beteckna,
BetecknaLowerCase, Beteckna Small Caps. Please package them in 3 different
subpackages using the -multi template (the two families which do not have a
correct uppercase/lowercase mix are probably more "fantasy" than "sans-serif"
fonts anyway)

9.[not a blocker] Please ask upstream to consider adding the FSF Font exception
to their licensing so the font can be used by people who embed fonts in PDF
files

10. Please change the category of the wiki page describing the font so other
packagers see they need not work on it
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Beteckna_fonts
(see the help in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_description_template )

You do not need a packager sponsorship for this, just a Fedora FAS account

Anyway that's all mostly small stuff and nothing that should be too hard for
you to fix.

⇒ NEEDINFO in the meanwhile
