Fonts in the package have been replaced with symlinks to system fonts.
thx for that Wart.
But please allow me one question reg. the patch:
+Requires: dejavu-fonts-experimental bitstream-vera-fonts [...] +ln -s %{_datadir}/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/%{name}/fonts/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf +ln -s %{_datadir}/fonts/bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/%{name}/fonts/vera_sans.ttf
Maybe a matter of taste, but wouldn't it be better to use those as requires:
Requires: %{_datadir}/%{name}/fonts/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf Requires: %{name}/fonts/vera_sans.ttf
That way the broken deps report will yell as soon as the files move (which breaks the symlinks). That happens rarely (if ever), but I guess sooner or later it will...
And yes, I'm aware that file deps outside of *bin/ have disadvantages
