They are in fact installed in:
prefix %{_datadir}/fonts/%{name}
The x11 definitions on the top of the file are only used to
register/index them using legacy X11 commands

No problem - I'll apply sensical debian packaging decisions as I hope
they'll apply mine.

is the -f necessary ? fc-cache is already executed at install/uninstall
time by the spec.
Note I didn't get this spec file of my hat like that, it's distantly
related to the adaptation I did for myself of the corefonts sourceforge
spec file (at the time I needed to adapt it to fontconfig) plus merges
from various redhat font specs, plus some changes we did to package java
fonts at jpackage project (www.jpackage.org).
So I'm pretty sure that the spec as it is written now should work on all
latest RH/Mdk system - the scripts have already been tested by lots of
people with other fonts (I removed some java fonts workarounds - I hope
these fonts do not need them).
I'll certainly plunder any script enhancements for my other font
packaging efforts:). My aim right now is to get some sort of official
spec file/set of rpms on the site that people can build on.
