As far as I can tell, gnome-desktop doesn't include explicit (default or
otherwise) fonts either.
Shouldn't a good/default set of monospace/sans/serif fonts get pulled in
from somewhere, somehow? Am I missing something?
Would be going too far to be adding to (to some/all) font-providing
packages, something like:
Provides: monospace-fonts
Provides: sans-fonts
and Requires's these somewhere? (an initial/naive choice might be in
fontconfig perhaps)
