Thanks for the answer. I also thought that it is reasonable, but wanted
to make sure before calling others for it. I just wonder if it is
possible to have group dependencies in comps.xml or by packages! What is
the best way for enforcing such dependencies in Fedora?

Well that is a question for fedora-devel and the tools people :)

Well, please do not add hardcoded dependencies on all those packages to 
desktop environment packages. If I don't need fonts for [insert language 
here], I should be able to remove them. The fonts group in comps, which is 
already installed by default, is the right place for those fonts.

Is it possible to depend on a group instead of a package at all? And if that's possible, what happens if a default package of a group is removed?!

Thanks
Hedayat

Localized live kickstarts also need to be able to remove fonts for locales 
they don't support, to make room for packages to support the locales they do 
support.
