- Obsoletes/Provides are not finished. In the 'base' pkg you can see my
proposal, which is somewhat bogus :). I believe there's on Fedora wiki some guide on O/P labels but I failed to find it.
Provides for the old font names are probably unecessary
If each new font subpackage corresponds exactly to one or several old (sub)packages, you only need to Orsolete: oldpackagename < thisversion-thisrelease
If the mapping is less obvious look at the compat packages in dejavu for example
- The -commons sub-package seems to be useless, nothing but *.ttf's are
shipped.

- Fontconfig support is missing, but not a hard requirement.
It's not but it help browsers at least. Upstream should be able to give you the information needed to fill them in (to what CSS category each font belongs, etc)
Eventually, you'll find other problems - please, share them, then we'll what can be done :).
Don't hesitate to ping me on irc or on the fonts list if you have specific problems. I'll probably eventually review the changes in this package as I did with others, but I have a long review queue nowadays.
