Hi.
I need some help with the needed fonts for the KDE live images. Since F8 @fonts seems to has changed a bit and so I'm missing some former installed fonts. The kde live images are not using any language groups due to space limitations but they should still be usuable for most of the different languages.
This list is pulled in automatically: bitmap-fonts ghostscript-fonts urw-fonts xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-misc xorg-x11-fonts-Type1
These fonts were installed in my former rawhide/f9 images and also on f8: baekmuk-ttf-fonts-common baekmuk-ttf-fonts-gulim cjkunifonts-uming dejavu-lgc-fonts jomolhari-fonts kacst-fonts liberation-fonts lohit-fonts-bengali lohit-fonts-gujarati lohit-fonts-hindi lohit-fonts-kannada lohit-fonts-oriya lohit-fonts-punjabi lohit-fonts-tamil lohit-fonts-telugu paktype-fonts sazanami-fonts-gothic
For the moment I've added them manually. But my question here is: Are all of them needed or are some still missing?

All the xorg-x11-fonts are mainly useful for legacy apps that do not use vector fonts.
These fonts were installed in my former rawhide/f9 images and also on f8: baekmuk-ttf-fonts-common baekmuk-ttf-fonts-gulim cjkunifonts-uming
dejavu-lgc-fonts
this one has not been in the default install since december (switched with dejavu-full)
jomolhari-fonts
kacst-fonts
This one is not 100% necessary has dejavu full has a form or arabic, but it's nice to have.
liberation-fonts
This one has never changed in comps as far as I know. I was bumped to a new version recently
lohit-fonts-bengali lohit-fonts-gujarati lohit-fonts-hindi lohit-fonts-kannada lohit-fonts-oriya lohit-fonts-punjabi lohit-fonts-tamil lohit-fonts-telugu paktype-fonts
sazanami-fonts-gothic
VLGothic-fonts is the new japanese default IIRC.

If you want an accurate font list you need to pull all the default fonts in the fonts group and all the mandatory fonts in the localization groups you care for your spin. This can be easily automated via xslt if you have a list of the locales you care about somewhere.
