The @fonts group contains the following default fonts:
aajohan-comfortaa-fonts
abattis-cantarell-fonts
dejavu-sans-fonts
dejavu-sans-mono-fonts
dejavu-serif-fonts
gnu-free-mono-fonts
gnu-free-sans-fonts
gnu-free-serif-fonts
google-noto-emoji-color-fonts
google-noto-sans-cjk-ttc-fonts
google-noto-sans-sinhala-fonts
google-noto-serif-cjk-ttc-fonts
jomolhari-fonts
julietaula-montserrat-fonts
khmeros-base-fonts
liberation-mono-fonts
liberation-sans-fonts
liberation-serif-fonts
lohit-assamese-fonts
lohit-bengali-fonts
lohit-devanagari-fonts
lohit-gujarati-fonts
lohit-gurmukhi-fonts
lohit-kannada-fonts
lohit-odia-fonts
lohit-tamil-fonts
lohit-telugu-fonts
paktype-naskh-basic-fonts
paratype-pt-sans-fonts
sil-abyssinica-fonts
sil-mingzat-fonts
sil-nuosu-fonts
sil-padauk-fonts
smc-meera-fonts
stix-fonts
thai-scalable-waree-fonts
(All others are optional, i.e., not installed by default.)
Of those, the following are there to cover some specific non-Latin scripts:
google-noto-sans-cjk-ttc-fonts
google-noto-sans-sinhala-fonts
google-noto-serif-cjk-ttc-fonts
jomolhari-fonts
khmeros-base-fonts
lohit-assamese-fonts
lohit-bengali-fonts
lohit-devanagari-fonts
lohit-gujarati-fonts
lohit-gurmukhi-fonts
lohit-kannada-fonts
lohit-odia-fonts
lohit-tamil-fonts
lohit-telugu-fonts
paktype-naskh-basic-fonts
paratype-pt-sans-fonts (Cyrillic)
sil-abyssinica-fonts
sil-mingzat-fonts
sil-nuosu-fonts
sil-padauk-fonts
smc-meera-fonts
thai-scalable-waree-fonts
And the following are there for general glyph coverage of various non-Latin
scripts (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868547 ):
gnu-free-mono-fonts
gnu-free-sans-fonts
gnu-free-serif-fonts
This leaves the following for the Latin script (and international symbols):
aajohan-comfortaa-fonts (used in some Fedora artwork)
abattis-cantarell-fonts (GNOME default font)
dejavu-sans-fonts (Fedora default font)
dejavu-sans-mono-fonts (Fedora default monospace font)
dejavu-serif-fonts (Fedora default serif font)
google-noto-emoji-color-fonts (emoji symbol font)
julietaula-montserrat-fonts (used in some Fedora artwork)
liberation-mono-fonts (metrically compatible with Courier New)
liberation-sans-fonts (metrically compatible with Arial)
liberation-serif-fonts (metrically compatible with Times New Roman)
stix-fonts (mathematical symbol font)
The exact minimum set of fonts you need depends on your use case, but should
be a subset of this list (though individual applications may need some
specific other font, but in that case, they will drag it in as a
dependency).
