Always use scripts/checkpatch.pl on your patch to find stuff like this,
and other errors that this patch has.

for inclusion, otherwise some "go away, there are enough fonts in the kernel
already" would be nice as well so I can stop trying getting it in :)

Tabs please.

As for "do we take new fonts?", sure, why not?
