Please update
Also in the Description, "poineered" should be "pioneered"

Don't go off of gentium-plus-font or any other single package as a guideline, the status of the OFL license changed a couple years ago but many packagers (including some [community] packages) haven't adjusted their practices yet. The wiki guidelines for Font packages is correct, as is the PKGBUILD section on licenses. The OFL is 'special' in the same sense that MIT is: they are considered standard licenses in that the package meta data does not have to call them
custom:
because they are used by multiple official packages, but you still have to include the license file because of the variance in copyright lines / reserved font name clauses at the top.In other words 'special' != 'custom'. MIT & OFL & a few others are 'special cases' where you have to also include the file, but for the sake of meta data normalization you do not have to mark them as "custom:".

@caleb: This is a confusing bit because all or most of the packages are using custom:OFL. e.g.
gentium-plus-font
. man PKGBUILD statesIf the package provides a license not available in /usr/share/licenses/common, then you should include it in the package itself and set license=('custom') or license=('custom:LicenseName')
. The wiki considers OFL a special case.alerque commented on 2020-09-11 20:21 (UTC)
The license field should just be 'OFL', not 'custom:OFL'.
