No, rpm macros are the road to ruin a distro.
Once they are used in a distro, they impose major portability issues
and are close to impossible to get rid.
Unfortunately, deploying fonts requires scriptlets to manage
thefontconfig cache, font packages are often huge and need splitting,
and sriplets + subpackages = boom without a minimal automation.
Please review
http://nim.fedorapeople.org/rpm-fonts/rpm-fonts-1.8-1.fc11.src.rpm
and the other files in this directory, and propose ameliorations
before we make it the backbone of our Fedora 11 font packages.
