Fonts are a special case.. there was a possibility to install Opera without any fonts. I don't think this is possible to resolve, like there is no a requirement on man for man pages.. CC:

Summary:
In a minimal install, emacs is missing a requires on a font package =>
In a minimal install, task-x11 does not install any font Hum there are a lot of suggest not http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/task-x11/current/SPECS/task-x11.spec?revision=64977&view=markup ? Hello! We shall handle all fonts for a standard (western) applications. It is impossible to add a specific font for every application, so therefoe we an fix it univerally in a common lix11 package. The one I suggest is xorg-x11-fonts, it's needed for some old timers, like XBoard. After determining what is needed for Emacs, we should add it too. New summary (sorry to change again): In a minimal install, with task-lxde added (which pulls task-x11), but without suggests and emacs, when lauching the graphical (Gtk) emacs, the window that appears has its caracters replaced by squares. It is solved by installing a ttf font package, like liberation or dejavu. There is probably a missing requires on some font package. Summary:
In a minimal install, task-x11 does not install any font =>
