The Luxi fonts are removed from xorg-x11-fonts in rawhide (7.2-5).

While I was in there, I audited the licenses for the rest of the fonts, and
caught a few more that probably should not be there:

- ibm-type1 (Courier) does not have permission to modify. Working with Josh
Boyer to try to get IBM to fix the license, otherwise, I'll pull that font
before F-9.
- misc-meltho (Meltho Syrian) has the same problem as the Luxi fonts, contacted
the copyright holder to try to get a license change, otherwise, I'll have to
pull it before F-9.

I'm just going to use this issue to track fonts that may need to be removed.
