           Summary: Use upstream tarball and make modifications during the
                    build

Created an attachment (id=363657)
 --> (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=363657)
alternative approach that self-documents our changes

As described in rhbz#461617 we have a modified sazanami-fonts tarball that
differs from the original. Apparently to change the 0x7E6B glyph in the Gothic
and Mincho fonts according to rhbz##196433

Attached is a suggestion to use the original tarball and modify it during the
build to swap in the two desired replacement glyphs using the ttx tool from
fontutils.

I don't have strong feelings about this one way or the other, but I feel this
might be a rather "neater" and self-documenting mechanism to solving the
original problem ?
