Museum serif fonts
Correct the proposal and replace it with the final package summary.
Description
The Museum fonts are a rough work-in-progress, based on historical metal Centaur fonts.
Museum Sixty is based on 60 point metal Monotype Centaur. The source for A-Z& is the specimen page opening American Proprietary Typefaces, ed. David Pankow. The primary source for the lowercase is the original Centaur specimen booklet by Lanston Monotype, London, 1929.
Museum Fourteen is based on 14 point metal Monotype Centaur. The primary source is the text of Americal Proprietary Typefaces.
Museum Bible is based on 18 point metal Bible Centaur. The source is the booklet, "An Account of the Making of the Oxford Lectern Bible", Lanston Monotype, Philadelphia, 1936.
Museum Foundry is based on the 14 point original foundry version of Centaur, as cut by Robert Wiebking of Chicago. The source is "Amycus et Célestin", printed at the Museum Press in New York, 1916.

Caveats
- Please do not forget to include the appropriate fontconfig rules to the package
- Please build the fonts from the sources published
- Please ask upstream for a proper versionned source archive
- Please package the four different fonts in different subpackages. They can depend on a common doc subpackage
Take care of those items and remove them from the page once they've been dealt with.
The Fonts SIG takes loving care of Fedora fonts. Please join this special interest group if you are interested in creating, improving, packaging, or just suggesting a font. Any help will be appreciated.
You MUST replace the Category:Font wishlist tag with:
- Category:In-progress fonts for a font being worked on, but not available in Fedora yet. Typically in packaging review stage.
- Category:Packaged fonts for a packaged font, available in Fedora.
- Category:Rejected and retired fonts for a font we decided not to package after review, or removed from current Fedora repositories for some other reason.
