Updated samyak-fonts-1.2.0 ebuild

Simplified the ebuild a bit (based on lohit-fonts, which is in-tree).

NOTE: The LICENSE used here is not _valid_. The packages uses GPLv3 with an exception for font-embedding, which I could not find amongst the current set of licenses.

Upstream seems dead, the last release came out in 2010 and there are open bugs in the tracker which haven't been touched since 2012. Is there still user demand for having this font added to Portage?
