Hey,
thank you for your fast answer!

I created a Review request for my package. You find it here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=483363

One thing I noticed when going through the Joining the Fonts SIG
wikipage: There is written that you should apply for membership in the
cvsextras group on fas. This group does (not longer) exist.

One more question. I started looking at the next font - Vollkorn.
http://www.grafikfritze.de/?p=43

On the website there is only the *.otf file. Should I put it into an
archive for packaging?

Thank you a lot!

Paul
