All the xorg-x11-fonts are mainly useful for legacy apps that do not use
vector fonts.

a form or arabic, but
it's nice to have.

new version recently

If you want an accurate font list you need to pull all the default fonts
in the fonts group and all the mandatory fonts in the localization
groups you care for your spin. This can be easily automated via xslt if
you have a list of the locales you care about somewhere.
