What I said was 'I had a package a approved that had the wrong font in
it' and while this wasn't meant as 'The reviewer didn't spot the error'
it can easily be understood that way (heck - it's probably very
difficult to understand it any other way). 

By the time we clarified this, Christophs first email was already out.

So: It's all my fault and sorry for the noise (of this third of the
issues).

I agree - while 'wrong content' sounds like a grave error it actually
wasn't as these kind of very simple font packages just include "*.ttf"
from the source-zip. 

Blocking the review for this issue would just have meant another round
trip with no added value.

So again: Apologies for bringing this up.
