Quick note to mention that alternatively you could use fontaine http://unifont.org/fontaine/ to review the metadata and export a text report. There are also simple but handy fontforge scripts like fontlicense.py on: http://utilities.open-fonts.org/ Plenty of goodies to do more analysis in: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=fontpackages.git and there's always the Debian package font review, for example here's the urrent report for glob2: http://pkg-fonts.alioth.debian.org/review/pkg-glob2-data.html Replacing duplicated font files with appropriate dependencies is probably the best approach.
