Can you please provide more information on this issue of not having "Requires: fontconfig" in fonts packages? Currently I am in confusion on whether to drop fontconfig as Requires or not and still packaging guidelines is missing this issue to address it. I am sure many new packages got added to Fedora recently and many will be coming in future. But still we are missing proper fonts guidelines page. I think its good if we have wiki page that will describe and give sample SPEC for fonts packages including how to handle license and its naming issues for new coming fonts package reviews.
