I've followed the advices and revised some additional minor problems,
including:

- Changed the package name to 'takao-fonts' (former name was 'takeo-
  fonts' due to my typo :-P)
- 2009 -> 2010 in Copyright description in spec file
- Removed dos2unix from BuildRequires
- Added README* and ChangeLog to each %doc sections

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=takao-fonts&project=home%3AHeliosReds

One more thing I'm not sure is, whether it is OK or not, that I divided
the package into 4 RPMs - TakaoGothic, TakaoMincho, TakaoPGothic and
TakaoPMincho. That's because I referred to the spec file for IPAPGothic
package.

If there are no other problems by packaging, can I submit the package
directly to M17N repo instead of M17N:Devel repo ?

Best,
