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 ctan-musixtex-fonts package:

SRPM                 RPM                  11  17  19
ctan-musixtex-fonts  ctan-musixtex-fonts  71  60  70
                     Total                71  60  70

11. Packages that mix different font families

    ☛ Reliable font auto-installation requires shipping only one font family
    per font package.
    
    (If you've remapped some font names at the fontconfig level your package
    may appear here pending some fontconfig fixes upstream is aware of).


17. Fonts with partial script coverage

    ☛ Some font files included in the package are missing only a few glyphs to be
    accepted by fontconfig as covering one or several scripts. Therefore they
    could be made useful to more people with only a little effort.
    
    To check a font file script coverage, run fc-query with FC_DEBUG=256 and
    look for lines like: script-id¹(number) { list-of-unicode-codepoints }
    
    For example “mi(2) { 1e34 1e35 }” means fontconfig will accept the tested
    file for Maori if codepoints 1e34 and 1e35 are added.
    
    If you feel fontconfig is requiring a glyph which is not strictly necessary
    for a particular script, report the problem upstream².

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

Please take the appropriate measures to fix the ctan-musixtex-fonts package.

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

Your friendly QA robot,
