Thank you for working on this I realise it's not easy to be the first TEX
packager to adapt your packages. Anyway, some QA feedback:

1. you need to add the template (build)requires on fontpackages* for build
mock/koji to work

2. you have several different font families in this package.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_fonts_in_Fedora_%28FAQ%29#What_is_this_font_family_thing.3F

Each one needs a separate font subpackage
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_fonts_in_Fedora_%28FAQ%29#How_many_font_files_can_I_put_in_a_font_.28sub.29package.3F

3. since you'll have multiple font subpackages, you need to create a common
subpackage they depend on that will own the font package directory and the
fonts COPYING

4. I'm not sure your (duplicated) %define fontpkg \-n\ cm-lgc-fonts is a good
idea then.

5. are you sure you can not use a subpackages named srpmname-foo? Removing the
srpmname prefix will confuse users.

6. some fontconfig files would be nice, there are good templates in
fontpackages-devel
