It would be more useful if you attached the appdata file .-)

Citing Richard's blog: "If your package just contains one font used internally, or where there is only partial coverage of the alphabet, I don’t think we want to show this in GNOME Software, and thus it doesn’t need any new MetaInfo files." Which is the case here. Or am I missing something?
I too need to know more about this from Richard then as I believe he created that list based on some input he got as more popular/important fonts. Let's get his opinion on this.
Well, is this a font we want to show? If it's useful in other programs and contains enough glyphs to render all of what I want to show it probably deserves to be shown. If it's a small font only designed to be used internally it probably doesn't make much sense to add it.
I don't think its a good universal font. Packed full of pua wingdings. We used to hide it inside our own dirs at one point and not in the system until various packaging rules had us move it out. So on that basis that we tend to see it as a "font designed to be used internally" then lets take that approach. I'm not adverse to adding the metadata though if anyone feels strongly about it
