--- Comment #11 from Kamil Páral <kparal(a)redhat.com> ---
I have reproduced this with F23 Alpha RC1 Workstation netinst (booted over PXE,
but that shouldn't matter) having fontconfig-2.11.94-2.fc23.x86_64. Again,
after forced refresh, new fonts appear (in this case NotoSansT* and
LiberationSans*).
Proposing as a F23 blocker bug. Probably the closest criterion we have is
"All applications that can be launched using the standard graphical mechanism
of a release-blocking desktop after a default installation of that desktop must
start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test. "

We can also argue this breaks our localization support.
The reasoning is that missing fonts can cause difficulties, like applications
and web pages not rendering certain characters, symbols or whole languages
correctly. Even if some characters are rendered using a fallback font, it can
have completely different characteristics (that's how I've found this bug, my
favorite website had an ugly and unusually small font). The affected fonts seem
to be random.
Reproducer:
1. take F22 or F23 Workstation netinst image (has to be netinst), install it
2. fc-list | sort > fonts.before
3. sudo fc-cache -f
4. fc-list | sort > fonts.after
5. diff fonts.before fonts.after
6. there should be no difference, but it is
