Agreed.

Our default set of fonts belongs, if anywhere, in the 'packages' field
of our example OS descriptions.
It does *not* belong in the 'propagated-inputs' of every graphical
program. If we did that, we wouldn't just be making it the "default",
we would be making it *mandatory*.

That font appears to be installed as part of the SpyBlock extension,
which is included by default in GNU IceCat. If you want to complain
about that, the appropriate forum is <bug-gnuzilla@gnu.org>. In any
case, it is not installed in a place where any other program is likely
to find it, and possibly not even outside of the SpyBlock extension.
