GNOME Software in Ubuntu 17.10 Alpha now shows the Cantarell, Lato and
Oxygen fonts and 11 Lohit fonts for Indic languages. In order for more
fonts to show up, similar appstream metainfo files will need to be added
to the other font packages in Debian or Ubuntu.

Title:
  Should be able to also search and install fonts, not only apps

Status in GNOME Software:
  In Progress
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  GNOME Software can only search and install packages which are (probably) 
marked as GUI applications.
  In terms of usability, it is a good choice and the chances to mess up a 
system are diminished.

  As a result, it is not possible to install fonts.
  Fonts should also be regarded as packages that can be searched for and 
installed through GNOME Software.

  Reproduce: 
  1. Start GNOME Software
  2. Search for "font"

  Expected result: several packages about fonts should be shown
  What happened: no packages are found
