I've added a OrderWithRequires statement to tell RPM how to sort this:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xorg-x11-font-utils/c/3f6e76ab132da44d...
That should help resolve this issue.
Unfortunately, this did not work.
e.g. Fedora-Astronomy_KDE-Live-34-20210222.n.0
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=62491131
(see "anaconda-packaging.log")
new xorg-x11-font-utils-1:7.5-49.fc34.x86_64 was pulled in, but freetype was
not installed at the time %postin scriptlet of
xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi-7.5-27.fc34.noarch ran.
