This is one of my first contributions to the Guix project. If I have
done something wrong, please let me know so that I don't make the same
mistake in the future.

A similar patch has been provide some time ago in
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/57637

At the time, it was discarded for probably being illegal software (in
the sense that Minecraft license probably doesn't allow such a
copy). This has not been researched enough to be proven, so feel free to
ask/enquire about the developper or Minecraft rights on this font.

Other than that, at first glance, your patch looks fine, except for the
lack of details in the description. It shouldn't be a copy of the
synopsis.

Closing, thanks for the patch, please open it once again if you have
good news on the license / legal subject.
