Description:
As it is known, the Greek alphabet was used in majuscule form for over a millenium before the miniscule letters gradually replaced it until they became the official script in the 9th century A.D. Thereafter, majuscule letters were confined to sparce use as initials or elaborate titles until the Italian Renaissance.
The new art of Typography, as well as the need of the humanists to mimic the ancient Greco-Roman period brought back the extensive use of the majuscule letterforms in both Latin and Greek typography. Greek books of the time were printed using the contemporary Byzantine hand with which they combined capital letters modeled on the Roman antiquity, i.e. with thick and thin strokes and serifs. At the same time the byzantine majuscule tradition, principally used on theological editions, remained alive until the early 19th century.
GFS Ambrosia has the main characteristics of the majuscule forms of the early Christian tradition.
It has been designed by George D. Matthiopoulos

This is an informal review for getting sponsored.
Thanks for the review! I admit I didn't leave much to be comented on in this package :)
Unfortunately I do not know the level/number of reviews required before one can be sponsored. Maybe someone else is monitoring this ticket and knows it better than me? Plus sponsoring someone just because he ok-ed of my packages strikes me as a bit unethical (even if I do wish you could be sponsored so my package is released).
However, there are several pretty simple packaging requests languishing in the Fonts SIG wishlist: — http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIL_Padauk_fonts — http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Conakry_fonts — http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ancient_Scripts_fonts (full list here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Font_wishlist )
I'd have no problem sponsoring someone who packaged one of those (just like I just did for Michal Nowak in bug #454078)
Since you've reviewed a font package most of the packaging should have no surprises for you. If you're interested this page explains how one picks up items in the Fonts SIG wishlist: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_package_lifecycle#2.a
