Dear packager,

At 20091029T192211Z, while scanning the rawhide repository located at:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/static-repos/dist-rawhide-current/x86_64/
I have identified the following problems in your baekmuk-bdf-fonts package:

SRPM               RPM                4   16  19
baekmuk-bdf-fonts  baekmuk-bdf-fonts  42  42  42
                   Total              42  42  42

4. Fonts in packages that do not declare font metadata

    ☛ Font-specific rpm metadata is required for automatic font installation to
    work. If you apply our font packaging templates, it will be generated at
    package creation time.


16. Fonts fc-query can not parse

    ☛ fc-query could not parse some font files in the package. The files may be
    malformed and in need of fixing, or fc-query has a bug (in that case,
    please report the problem so it is fixed).
    
    Any font file rejected by fc-query will be useless in fontconfig and most
    applications. If it can not be fixed drop it.


19. Fonts that do not pass fontlint sanity checks

    ☛ Fontforge's fontlint¹ test suite found problems in some files included in
    the package. Those problems may not be obvious and only manifest as strange
    behaviour in specific applications (making them hard to debug). For that
    reason it is recommanded to report those problems upstream and get them
    fixed, even if the font file seems to work fine most of the time.
    
    You can ask help about specific fontlint errors on:
    https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fontforge-users
    
    ¹ http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/fontlint.html

Please take the appropriate measures to fix the baekmuk-bdf-fonts package.

I will warn you again if I find problems next time I am ran.

Your friendly QA robot,
