Review

1. The description is particularly difficult to digest → please try to come up with something better with upstream (not blocking). The specific reference to Unicode 5.2 in particular will force you to change the description each time the font and the standard are updated

2. fontlint notes "More points in a glyph than PostScript allows" → please relay upstream (not blocking)

3. repo-font-audit notes partial script and unicode coverage → please relay upstream (not blocking)

4. the unicode points are unusual but the style is not exotic, I'd say it's a serif not fantasy font (not blocking)

5. It would be nice if upstream added a .txt licensing file to the zip

I hope the process was pleasant, and that it will inspire you to package a
other fonts for Fedora. Please do not hesitate to suggest improvements to our
organisation or documentation on the fonts mailing list.

Thank you for another contribution to our font package pool.
