pruning the fonts list

When looking over the LiveCD manifest, and where space is going, I
can't help but notice that a lot of it goes to fonts. Here's the
full list, AFAICT. The number to the left is the size of the package.
I think a good chunk of this could be pruned.


1) Fonts not used by any fontconfig app. I don't think we
ship any apps that aren't fontconfig users on the livecd (and
if we do, we shouldn't...)

7140551	xorg-x11-fonts-misc
3417965	xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi
1070826	xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi
1066029	xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-9-100dpi
301748	fonts-KOI8-R-100dpi

2) Bitmap fonts, which almost certainly won't be pulled in
by fontconfig by default.

27332191	fonts-japanese
9241059	baekmuk-bdf-fonts
7049492	bitmap-fonts
1970046	taipeifonts

3) Everything else. These are probably OK. :)
