This bug has been filed because we've detected your package includes one or
several font files:                                                            
                                                                               
                repoquery -C --repoid=rawhide -f '*.ttf' -f '*.otf' -f '*.pfb'
-f '*.pfa' --qf='%{SOURCERPM}\n' |sed -e
's+-[0-9.-]*\.fc[123456789]\(.*\)src.rpm++g'|sort|uniq                         
                                                                               
                                                   Unfortunately the script
does not detect symlinks to other packages, so if that's your case, you can
close this bug report now.                                                     
                                                                               
                        Otherwise, you should know that:                       
                                                                               
                                                      - Fedora guidelines
demand the packaging of fonts in a separate package or subpackage:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Avoid_bundling_of_fonts_in_other_packages
                                                                              
- our font packaging guidelines recently changed, and every package that ships
fonts must be adapted to the new templates available in the fontpackages-devel
package.

                                                                  Please make
your package conform to the current guidelines in rawhide.                     
                                                                               
                                                       If your package is not
principaly a font package, depending on a separate font package or subpackage
is the prefered solution. If your application does not use fontconfig you can
always package symlinks to the files provided by the font package and installed
in the correct fontconfig directories.                                         
                                                                               
                                    It is preferred to make a font package or
subpackage per font family, though it is not currently a hard guidelines
requirement (it may become before Fedora 11 is released). The definition of a
font family is given on
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_notes/font-family            
                                                                               
                                                                 The new
templates should make the creation of font subpackages easy and safe.          
                                                                               
                                                                   The
following packages have already been converted and can serve as examples: -
andika-fonts - apanov-heuristica-fonts - bitstream-vera-fonts - charis-fonts -
dejavu-fonts - ecolier-court-fonts - edrip-fonts - gfs-ambrosia-fonts -
gfs-artemisia-fonts - gfs-baskerville-fonts - gfs-bodoni-classic-fonts -

gfs-theokritos-fonts - stix-fonts - yanone-kaffeesatz-fonts                    
                                                                               
                                                      If you have any remaining
