It's not a package, it's a comps group: the @fonts group defines the fonts
i18n thought were necessary to support Fedora needs. If you do a Fedora
install without this group, gui tools won't work. Treat it like @base for gui
apps.

Font selection is hard and changes every release depending on the progress of
the various font project, unicode changes, user feedback worldwide, so the
flexibility of comps is really needed here.
