Kinda. I think fontconfig files are a very good idea to be mandatory,
so they actually work when installed. We *don't* want all fonts to
have MetaInfo files however; some fonts are poor quality or only
contain some glyphs (e.g. the Ubuntu title font) and we don't want to
show those.

Does this means only a subset of packages will be accessible via gnome-software and for other users need to do dnf search/install?

User will not see particular font unless until he search. I think good to allow all and let user decide which is good quality and which is not.
