My advice would be:
I pretty much second everything Nicolas said.
behdad
1. drop every core fonts package except one to keep legacy users
happy
(probably xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-15-100dpi)
2. drop xorg-x11-fonts-Type1. Nothing in there not provided by more
modern font packages
3. fonts-japanese is probably not 100% necessary when VLGothic is
available
4. drop culmus — DejaVu full includes Hebrew no one complained of during
the F9 cycle, so no need to keep a separate Hebrew font on a
space-constrained media
5. Have the Arabic l10n group choose between kacst and paktype
6. Have the Indic l10n group sort the huge number of indic fonts,
keeping only one package per script (sarai, lohit, smc, samyak)
7. Have the Chinese l10n group choose between cjkunifonts-uming and
cjkunifonts-ukai
8. add dejavu-fonts-experimental — you *really* want the distro default
fonts to have a complete face set, a lot of users will notice and
complain otherwise
I'm afraid most wins are in 3. 5. 6. & 7., and they depend on l10n
groups telling us their wishes, which unfortunately has not happened a
lot so far.

remains terribly incomplete.
