I'm interested in font installing, but I think it might be better to
integrate this with app-install rather than packagekit, as app-install
has a pointer to a screenshot URL we can show in the preview window.
Sure, I was using "packagekit" as a generic term for "desktop application
that
implements the gui foo stores".
This just means we have to treat fonts either as applications (and
thus need desktop files) or we can just maintain a separate datastore
and merge this with the fedora-app-install data before the package is
shipped.
The latter is probably my preferred solution.
I agree, I don't think fonts map really well to .desktop files (though that
means the font descriptions will depend on the package summaries &
descriptions to be translated, but most users will primarily care about the
preview and not the text)
