--- Comment #16 from Nicolas Mailhot <nicolas.mailhot@xxxxxxxxxxx> ---
That’s i18n land, so not my stuff to complain about, but most of the comps
fonts stuff is obsolete unmaintained junk.

1) "authoring-and-publishing" group pulls "tex-fonts-hebrew" → completely
useless, we’ve have had Hebrew support in the default system font for 13 years
now

2) "design-suite" group needs many fonts packages → is anyone maintaining
those? I haven’t seen anyone design-side bothering about fonts for 5/7 years at
least

3) "electronic-lab" group installs "xorg-x11-fonts-*" → that is obsolete now
that wayland is here and legacy font format support is gone from harfbuzz-ng

4) "engineering-and-scientific" group installs "stix-math-fonts" → this has
been gone upstream for years and it is gone in F33 too now

5) "fonts" group itself → replace it will langpacks

6) "gnome-desktop" comps group installs → don’t get me started on how GNOME is
unable to work with the rest of the distribution

7)  Then we still have "legacy-fonts" → death row corner from ~13 years ago.
Just let them go

So, not impressed at all with this list. Just remove the damn groups (or fill
them with langpacks). Two competing systems won’t make one working system. Two
competing systems mean two broken systems. No one will maintain two lists of
fonts (tedious and pretty useless work). Please don’t stop in the middle of the
river, finish the transition.
