Hi,

It's always nice to see new packagers on the list. Please take the time
to read
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_package_lifecycle
and 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Fonts_packaging

if you haven't done so yet.

As for building from sfds, you have a simple example there:
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/inconsolata-fonts/inconsolata-fonts.spec?revision=1.2&view=markup

Bigger projects like Liberation or DejaVu automate sfd processing with a
makefile. If you are really interested in a font, it's a good idea to
read them and contribute the corresponding makefile to the upstream
project.

Regards,
