No. Why force everyone installing it despite almost nobody is still using X11 core fonts?

...

I have no idea why zypper did not install them though.

Then I suggest to figure out, why zypper no longer installs the Recommends on your system. It may bite you in the future more and more often. Hint: Check for Recommends in /etc/zypp/zypp(er).conf. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I insist that I am not "almost nobody". If nobody uses X11 core fonts, they should be replaced by some other fonts that should be installed by default. I would be happy to see this happen. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Recommends must be enough. It's our default to install also recommended packages. Again: "Then I suggest to figure out, why zypper no longer installs the Recommends on your system.
