Let’s not rush to conclusions.  We usually don’t add fonts to inputs
unless they are required at build time.

As far as I’m aware of the problem was that XDG environment variables
were not set (or the executables were not sufficiently wrapped).  Has
this been confirmed yet?

Users should be free to pick whatever font they want – or choose to not
install any additional fonts.
