There is already a good documentation available on Fedora Wiki about
font packaging[1] [2] then we have Fedora fonts mailing lists then IRC
channel #fedora-g11n where you can get help.

I have packaged this font and submitted its review now ->
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1265484

You may want to review it ;-)

Parag.
