The 'fixed' and 'cursor' fonts have to come from somewhere, or the X
server won't start. I believe there's still a bug where they won't show
up when the built-in font list is used, which means you have to keep
-misc.
Of course, we could split out xorg-x11-fonts-mandatory from -misc. I'll
take a look at this.
