> Alternatively we could fix the font guidelines to drop the bogus demand 

This is not a bogus demand and works fine for other font backends, and there's
no reason it can not work fine for core fonts.

> And Nicolas, can we please get some more care for core fonts in the font sig,

Core fonts will get as much care in the SIG as core fonts users contribute. It's
a wiki, write autoritative core font scriptlets or guidelines I've said many
times I would welcome them.

What I refuse to do is to do this work in the stead of core font users. I've
paid the "can not find font fixed" price like everyone in the distro for years,
it's time for core font users to start taking care of themselves.

Then surely there is at least one core font user willing to expend the time to
think about and write core fonts packaging guidelines.
