I'm interested in font installing, but I think it might be better to
integrate this with app-install rather than packagekit, as app-install
has a pointer to a screenshot URL we can show in the preview window.
This just means we have to treat fonts either as applications (and
thus need desktop files) or we can just maintain a separate datastore
and merge this with the fedora-app-install data before the package is
shipped.

The latter is probably my preferred solution.
