Hi, I was looking into what I need to do to have my fonts in displayed in gnome-software. They all seem to fail with <veto>appdata required</veto>.
Am I correct in assuming that appdata for all (or almost all?) fonts is generated by https://github.com/hughsie/fedora-appstream/blob/master/appdata-tools/create-font-appdata.py ? So should I add an appdata files for fonts I maintain, or is it enough to have them in https://github.com/hughsie/fedora-appstream/blob/master/appdata-tools/fonts.csv?
