I think this would be conceptionally wrong. Fonts are a property of
the X server and shouldn't be a dependency of an X client (which may
even run on a different machine).
Already chromium's dependency on virtual/ttf-fonts is wrong, IMHO.
We had the same discussion for Emacs some time ago (see bug 137598),
and we output a message in pkg_postinst() that Emacs requires fonts.
