Hi all,
Recently, I come across a bug[1] in the dependencies of LXDE desktop
group, one part of which turned out to be applicable to other desktop
environments too: Fedora desktop environments does not depend on any
fonts at all.  So, if you does not have any fonts installed on your
system, and install one of such groups (e.g. gnome-desktop group) you'll
end up with a desktop environment without any fonts!

Now, as is being discussed in [1], which fonts should be pulled by a
desktop environment as its dependencies?

Thanks,
Hedayat
