Hi,
I was looking into what I need to do to have my fonts in displayed in gnome-software. They all seem to fail with <veto>appdata required</veto>.
Am I correct in assuming that appdata for all (or almost all?) fonts is generated by https://github.com/hughsie/fedora-appstream/blob/master/appdata-tools/create... ? So should I add an appdata files for fonts I maintain, or is it enough to have them in https://github.com/hughsie/fedora-appstream/blob/master/appdata-tools/fonts....

I noticed Titillium typeface is unlisted in Gnome Software. How to include it? I tried to look at the documentation about the process but not available.

These files are to set the long description for the font, and optionally also group together font faces together into families, e.g. so Lato Black gets paired up with Lato Hairline to form a "Lato" super-font.
and there is appdata for them in /usr/share/app-info/xml/ on my system, but for some reason they still don't show up in gnome-software. Kalev and I briefly looked into it, but couldn't quite figure it out. I'll ask Richard to take a look tomorrow (he's off today).
Unlike applications, the AppData for fonts only gets processed when the metadata is created using appstream-builder. This is because for applications there's a 1:1 relationship with .desktop files, but for addons like fonts the relationship can be n:1 or even 1:n.
So, back to the builder. I think this is the log file for Titillium: https://github.com/hughsie/createrepo_as_logs/blob/master/campivisivi-titill... -- which looking at the last entry seems to suggest (no <veto> tags) that it gets included in the metadata, at least for rawhide.
So, to check locally: vim /usr/share/app-info/xmls/fedora-21.xml.gz seems to suggest that Titillium should be present in gnome-software. So, running the latter in verbose mode I see;
(org.gnome.Software:9724): GsPlugin-WARNING **: failed to load cached icon Titillium-LightItalic.png: Failed to open file '/usr/share/app-info/icons/fedora-21/Titillium-LightItalic.png': No such file or directory
Not good, as that file does not indeed exist, although the others (e.g. Titillium-Black.png do). This kinda points to it being a metadata builder issue. I'll look more at this now.
