+◆ Requester:
+  — Add as many lines as necessary in the preceding table. Be careful not to mix faces with different characteristics on the same line (for example if a font bundle includes a serif font with a regular and bold face, and a sans-serif font with regular, bold, italic and bold-italic faces, use two different lines).

 == Caveats ==
-As usual with GPL fonts:
-# upstream needs to be contacted to check the GPL versions it accepts
-# licensing needs to be checked for the FSF GPL font exception, and if it's not present, upstream asked to add it
-# upstream needs to be asked if there's a separate canonical source for the fonts we should use to honor the GPL
 <!--
+◆ Requester and packager: list there the elements you know of that will impact packaging activity, such as licensing that needs clarifying, an upstream that uses a specific non-english language to communicate, broken or incomplete build scripts, etc.
 ◆ Packager: take care of those items and remove them from the page once they've been dealt with.

 <!--
+◆ Requester: replace existing categories with « Category:Font wishlist »
 ◆ Packager: replace the « Category:Font wishlist » by
    — « 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.
+◆ Requester and packager: you may additionally tag your page with one of the following categories:
+  — « Category:Decorative fonts » for a font used in titles and other short runs of text, typically requested by the Artwork team
+  — « Category:International fonts » for a font with unusual unicode coverage, typically requested by the I18N or L10N teams
+  — « Category:Technical fonts » for a font with coverage of technical unicode blocks (math, engineering, music and other non-text blocks).
