We can probably whittle down the set quite a bit if someone has time
to go through them. In Solaris, where the fonts are split into a
bunch of smaller packages, only a few of those packages are in the
miniroot used during install - certainly we don't plan to keep having
a single jumbo font package forever, it was just an expedient Moinak
did to get the LiveCD up and going that I've not had time to split into
more logical package boundaries (mostly because I want to make it go
away completely by getting back to the Solaris font packages, and then
refactoring those as previously discussed, but haven't had time for those
either).
