Those are subpackages from julietaula-montserrat-fonts needed by fedora-logos-httpd for their landing page. What will be a better alternative to prevent
breaking? Maybe apply the changes for Rawhide?
Note that some packages fonts provides woff which predated the new policy such as:
- comic-neue-web-fonts.noarch
- kurdit-unikurd-web-fonts.noarch
- mathjax-stixweb-fonts.noarch

Those packages which are not yet migrated to follow new fonts packaging guidelines are still providing woff files. I think you really don't need woff files for fedora-logos-httpd package. You just need below change in fedora-logos.spec file

Recommends:     julietaula-montserrat-base-web-fonts

to

Recommends:     julietaula-montserrat-fonts

That should work fine. Firefox will render using Montserrat font only but will use otf files.

I submitted https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-logos/pull-request/7 now.

Parag
