Back when you asked your original question I was certain someone would
mention yum history.  So I tried it out myself.  What I came up with
was essentially "what actions involved packages with "font" in their names.
I'll just show a bit of the output.  ID is a sequential yum session #.
My highest is about 120.  "yum history" will show them including dates.

  $ sudo yum history packages '*font*'

  ID     | Action(s)      | Package                                              
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
      84 | Dep-Install    | mathjax-ams-fonts-2.4.0-1.el7.noarch                 
      84 | Dep-Install    | mathjax-caligraphic-fonts-2.4.0-1.el7.noarch         
      84 | Dep-Install    | mathjax-fraktur-fonts-2.4.0-1.el7.noarch             
      78 | Updated        | libXfont-1.4.7-3.el7_1.x86_64              
      78 | Update         |          1.5.1-2.el7.x86_64
      78 | Updated        | liberation-fonts-common-1:1.07.2-14.el7.noarch
      78 | Update         |                         1:1.07.2-15.el7.noarch
       1 | Dep-Install    | abattis-cantarell-fonts-0.0.12-3.el7.noarch          
       1 | Install        | cjkuni-uming-fonts-0.2.20080216.1-53.el7.noarch      
       1 | Dep-Install    | dejavu-fonts-common-2.33-6.el7.noarch                
       1 | Install        | dejavu-sans-fonts-2.33-6.el7.noarch                  

So you can pick out which were just installed vs which were installed
as dependencies of some other package.
