Sorry but this starts to become annoying using weird symbols in the spec file has no added value. Why can't you just write a readable spec file like all other maintainers do? Using some non default fonts makes it even worse. Even when the fonts are displayed this makes the specfile "harder" to read than using simple "-".
How about an enhancement to RPM for changelog text format checking? I know RPM checks the date to make sure it is incremented, so why not expand that to read the changelog contents? ASCII-only text? This shouldn't add too much overhead or be that difficult to implement.
rpmlint would be better for this kind of thing.
