Great way to annoy people who use GUI package managers. They generally
when attempting to search for possible fonts to install will get at
least 20 times
as many packages not actually containing fonts as packages actually
containing fonts.
Good GUI package managers use repodata groups, either directly or
indirectly (ie packagekit). Expecting a unified fonts- prefix is not
workable with subpackages, short of performing deep rpm vodoo that
makes the link to srpm un-obvious and confuses users in bugzilla.
