The README is pretty clear that the fonts are compile to OpenType using
AFDKO from FontForge and or Inkscape source. AFDKO is not in Debian
main so this font should go to contrib. In addition, no FontForge
source format or SVG files were released and the font is under the
GPL so I don't think we can distribute this at all. Please ask the
ftp-masters to reject this package from NEW.

Here are the contents of the README for the record:

README

These are the Fandol fonts for Chinese typesetting.
Current version of Fandol fonts contains four
styles: Song, Hei, Kai, Fang.
All the fonts are OpenType.

These fonts are developed by Fandol team.
The member of Fandol team: Clerk Ma & Jie Su.

These fonts's licensing is GPL + GPL font exception.
