Hi Sarantis,
- However, for fonts that are bundled in a software package with no
other form of release, or fonts which have some additional non-standard stuff bundled with them (such as TEX packages), I don't think anyone will complain too loudly if you package them as subpackage(s) of your main package. As long as the subpackage(s) are clean, guidelines-compliant, and can be used by Fedora users without dragging with them your app or TEX or other non-general-purpose stuff.
For example, for a “tex-foo” TEX package, you could have:
tex-foo-fonts-fontname1 (normal font subpackage #1) tex-foo-fonts-fontname2 (normal font subpackage #2) […] tex-foo-fonts-common (common font subpackage that owns the fonts dirs and the fonts-licensing files²) tex-foo (main TEX package that depends on the tex-foo-fonts packages, includes symlinks to the font files in standard locations and other TEX stuff)
The subpackaging logic is pretty much the same as in the spectemplate-fonts-multi.spec template included in fontpackages-devel http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_for_multiple_fonts
Also, I'm pretty sure the other TEX packagers would be delighted if someone documented this stuff from the TEX POW.
