Ahoj,

please download the LICENSE.txt file to a filename which is distinct to this package.

When the user has $SRCDEST environment variable set, e.g. in /etc/makepkg.conf, all source files end up in the same directory, which leads to conflicts if other packages actually also do the same mistake of using generic filenames.

To do so, prepend for example ${pkgname}-LICENSE.txt:: to the source entry, so that it reads 

"${pkgname}-LICENSE.txt::https://unifoundry.com/LICENSE.txt"

and adapt the installation command so that it uses ${pkgname}-LICENSE.txt: 

install -Dm644 "${pkgname}-LICENSE.txt" "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE.txt"

Current issue is that checksum verification fails because a LICENS.txt, downloaded by some other PKGBUILD, is already present: 

==> Validating source files with sha256sums...
    [...]
    LICENSE.txt ... FAILED

Regards and thanks for the package!

Since these fonts are generated using mkbold-mkitalic, it doesn't make sense to mix this with the base package. Plus, there's the bdf-unifont-extra package, and since I don't maintain bdf-unifont (i.e. I can't merge the bdf- versions), for consistency's sake it makes sense to keep this package separate as well.
