For the sake of argument, let us assume a font licensed under OFL, called Mardana. The upstream tarball has two families inside, Mardana Sans and Mardana Serif, in TTF format. The text of the OFL license is not included in the TTFs themselves, but in a separate text file in the tarball. Actually, let's assume the TTFs themselves don't have any copyright or licensing metadata.

Of course, if the user really wants to, she can investigate the binary RPM, and find pointers to the actual license, and go and find the license. But we would not be redistributing the license with "each copy".
Put the license text file (I'm assuming it's not all that big) as %doc for each subpackage; it should end up in a separate directory under /usr/share/doc, thus eliminating any worry about file conflicts should someone update the license at any point and a user upgrade one font subpackage but not the other.
