Nicholas, how does this look?
This one looks better, however to completely convert freefont you should:
1. rename the base package to gnu-free-fonts http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy#Naming http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_fonts_in_Fedora_%28FAQ%29#What_if_the...
2. build from the sfd sources upstream publishes http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy#Building_from_sources
3. add a few fontconfig rules http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_fonts_in_Fedora_%28FAQ%29#The_fontcon...
4. try to stay closer to the template by using the same declaration order and spacing lines (makes it so much easier to check in a diff tool) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_fonts_in_Fedora_%28FAQ%29#Can_I_re-in...
5. remove the "Requires: fontconfig". It is contrary to packaging guidelines http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy#Install-time_dependencie...
6. probably be more conservative with provides http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_fonts_in_Fedora_%28FAQ%29#Do_I_need_t...
7. use -compat as metapackage if you need one http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_fonts_in_Fedora_%28FAQ%29#But_my_old_...
8. use nice names for your subpackages via -n as suggested by the templates http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_fonts_in_Fedora_%28FAQ%29#What_font_p...
Piece of cake :p
