A software center can allow users to install additional fonts using font metadata. Also, applications can use font metadata to find missing fonts (e.g. a special methematical font is needed) in the distribution's software sources. This meta-info specification describes how metadata for fonts / font collections should be structured.
		
			Font packages can ship one or more files in /usr/share/metainfo/%{id}.metainfo.xml.
		
			Font metadata files can - just likle all other metainfo files - be translated. See the section about translation for more information about that.
		
			A minimal font metainfo file can look like this:
		
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<component type="font">
  <id>LinuxLibertine.font</id>
  <metadata_license>CC0</metadata_license>
  <name>Linux Libertine</name>
  <summary>Linux Libertine fonts</summary>
  <provides>
    <font file="LinLibertine_R.otf">Linux Libertine O</font>
    <font file="LinLibertine_M.otf">Linux Libertine Mono</font>
  </provides>
</component>
