I see. :) Well, I hope the AppStream and fontconfig metadata are mostly OK for
the moment - at least for the urw-base35-fonts. I've spent a lot of time to get
it right.

(Currently, there was a small issue with typo in AppStream metadata that has a
pull-request waiting for acceptance, and small issue with Standard Symbols PS
being to big when used for LGC fonts.)
