One of them would be xorg-core (and xfree86-core) that is being discussed on x11@. However it seems to me now that putting dependencies to misc-fixed font (ie xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps) directly in xorg-server and of course in xorg-vfbserver. One other thing that i was thinking is that people may have their fonts provided by fontserver in which case they wouldn't need any font installed locally. However I'd assume that the number of such users is low enough and if they emerge, we could put font dependency under a make knob.
