Good work.

These 2 are mine:
xblast-0:2.10.4-2.fc7.i386:/usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf
chess-0:1.0-5.fc7.i386:/usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf

These are both games which used to be shipped with some none free font, since 
these fonts get openened and rendered directly not through X / Xftconfig, I 
know no other way to make sure those files are there, basicly the (patched) 
code for this games does:
fopen("/usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf", "r"). Since fonts have moved 
around sometimes in the past, and that will break this games, I've written the 
Requires as file requires, so that I get broken requires report from the 
requires checking scripts during the devel cycle instead of BZ entries from 
users that it crashes once the new font layout hits the streets in the next 
fedora release.

I'm open to suggestions to doing this smarter. And ship a private copy of 
Vera.ttf is not a good suggestion!
