Thanks for making the changes. 
You should also fill in the license and license_URL fields.

But the LGPL is still fairly problematic with fonts especially wrt. the
embedding problems. It's really not designed with fonts in mind. A PDF document
containing elements of a font under LGPL is more of a Combined Works than an
aggregate. I don't think we want to force users redistributing that PDF to have
to be subject to LGPL 4d0 or 4d1 (conveying Minimal Corresponding Source and
Corresponding Application Code // conveying Corresponding Source or installation
information).

IMHO you really need a font-specific exception to deal with that or as suggested
earlier a font-specific license which deals explicitly with embedding and does
not influence the license of the resulting document like the OFL (wich is
FSF-validated and widely used for fonts).

Choosing the OFL would also permit taking in the extra symbols from other open
fonts like Marvosym: http://www.marvosym.com/ and enrich the symbols offering
for OOo.
