Details:
I think we should stop bundling the CJK fonts located under
data/themes/gui-sdl/human
fireflysung.ttf
sazanami-gothic.ttf
UnDotum.ttf
Together they take up 26.3 Mb or 13 Mb zipped.
The original reason for bundling was to make the SDL client usable 'out of
the box' in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean locales.
But since the SDL client is not actively improved upon nowadays, I think it
makes sense to stop shipping these fonts in release tarballs to reduce
download size.
I know at least Debian has solved this on their end through package
dependencies years ago.
