Thanks!

Aim to add packages in alphabetical order, to minimise merge 
conflicts (unlikely but they happen).  Some modules, like this 
one, are such a mess that your only option is 
alphabetical-compared-to-the-previous-variable.  Oh well.  I moved 
it under font-sarasa-gothic.

And added a phase to install OFL.txt as well.

These lines are a bit too long.  You should configure your editor 
to wrap at 78 characters or at least not exceed 80.

I shortened the synopsis + description just a tiny bit and pushed 
this package as d65a25c9a2fdc9940c691afd8a10c7d489052cdf.

Kind regards,

T G-R
