One more thing is, current @fonts group has minimal sets of the packages only according to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CompsXml#Fonts basically. so the language group may has some fonts packages to replace the _distribution-wide default fonts_ with the preferable typefaces.
In what cases does it do this? My reading of the fonts groups were that it only ever installed additional fonts that were options to the defaults, not new defaults. (Especially since most any desktop user who installed a langsupport group had @fonts installed anyway.)
if we also change the policy of "one font per scripts" to the "one font per languages" or so, it may affects to the disk size after the installation or iso size for Live and/or some spins perhaps.
I'm willing to test to see how much space increase this causes - I think we're OK with both KDE and GNOME, unsure about XFCE/LXDE.

iok is required by ibus-m17n; is that expected to change?
