The only thing I see is that the
installation payload increases - given the trade off with aesthetics
that might not be too bad. Any pointers as to the payload quantum
increase ?

Yep, that is the only downside really, but in terms of convenience to most users it is worth it I think. The only really big fonts are the CJK ones.

Here are some figures to give an idea:

    29605  fonts-punjabi-2.1.5-2.fc8.noarch.rpm
    43699  fonts-tamil-2.1.5-2.fc8.noarch.rpm
    44635  fonts-malayalam-2.1.5-2.fc8.noarch.rpm
    53215  fonts-gujarati-2.1.5-2.fc8.noarch.rpm
    54951  fonts-hindi-2.1.5-2.fc8.noarch.rpm
    63166  fonts-kannada-2.1.5-2.fc8.noarch.rpm
    65283  fonts-oriya-2.1.5-2.fc8.noarch.rpm
    68111  fonts-telugu-2.1.5-2.fc8.noarch.rpm
    85979  fonts-bengali-2.1.5-2.fc8.noarch.rpm
   110581  fonts-sinhala-0.2.2-1.fc7.noarch.rpm
   128774  fonts-KOI8-R-1.0-9.1.1.noarch.rpm
   164358  xorg-x11-fonts-ethiopic-7.2-1.fc8.noarch.rpm
   299715  fonts-KOI8-R-100dpi-1.0-9.1.1.noarch.rpm
   402185  xorg-x11-fonts-cyrillic-7.2-1.fc8.noarch.rpm
   689518  fonts-KOI8-R-75dpi-1.0-9.1.1.noarch.rpm
   922700  xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-2-75dpi-7.2-1.fc8.noarch.rpm
   953223  xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-9-75dpi-7.2-1.fc8.noarch.rpm
   993496  fonts-arabic-2.0-6.fc8.noarch.rpm
  1033785  fonts-hebrew-0.100-5.fc8.noarch.rpm
  1055599  xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-2-100dpi-7.2-1.fc8.noarch.rpm
  1104957  xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-9-100dpi-7.2-1.fc8.noarch.rpm
  1281179  xorg-x11-fonts-syriac-7.2-1.fc8.noarch.rpm
  4943756  wqy-bitmap-fonts-0.8.1-6.fc8.noarch.rpm
 19125009  fonts-korean-2.2-3.fc8.noarch.rpm
 25116800  fonts-chinese-3.03-7.fc8.noarch.rpm
 29860882  fonts-japanese-0.20061016-8.fc8.noarch.rpm

Typically fonts don't get updated much between releases.

I don't know if we really need to have both 75dpi and 100dpi by default.
