Hi folks,
Often noticed that we have no Font or Background/Wallpaper categories,

Yeah, the fact we don't have 'Fonts' seems a little odd.
The category list is allegedly modelled after Debian package "sections",
which does include 'Fonts', so I guess adding that makes sense.
The only uses of wallpaper are in KDE: kde-wallpapers and
plasma-workspace-wallpapers replacing the former, although Debian and
Ubuntu also use that term, and Fedora uses both.
Cygwin's Fedora backgrounds packages stop at
f30-backgrounds{,-animated,-extras}.
Should we consider adding one or both of these new categories rather
than continuing to specify one of:
CATEGORY="Publishing" TeX
CATEGORY="X11" most others
CATEGORY="Graphics"
CATEGORY="Graphics X11"
CATEGORY="Graphics Text X11"
Hmm... Not sure. Also having the X11 category for fonts which can be
used by X applications (as opposed to other formats which presumably can
only be used with other tools like TeX) might be a good idea.
