There are quite a lot of fonts in there and it's not sufficient to split them
in a fonts subpackage, this subpackage also needs to conform to Fedora
guidelines

The decision tree is the following:
for each font family in lilipond:
1. check with upstream if this font was created or modified by lilypond
  a. if it's just a copy of someone else's font, check if this font is
available in Fedora
    i. if yes, add a dep on the existing fedora package (for example the urw
fonts)
    ii. if no, get the original font source packaged separately
  b. if the font was created or modified by lilypond, create a separate
subpackage for it (that installs it in correct font directories, using the
official fedora rpm font macros)
2. symlink in the main lilypond package the font files installed in
/usr/share/fonts provided by those packages of subpackages
3. add all the new font packages or subpackages to the fonts comps group
