Looking at a desktop spin, I see the following changes in the font area:

+abyssinica-fonts
-dejavu-lgc-fonts
-fonts-arabic
-fonts-bengali
-fonts-chinese
-fonts-gujarati
-fonts-hebrew
-fonts-hindi
-fonts-kannada
-fonts-korean
-fonts-malayalam
-fonts-oriya
-fonts-punjabi
-fonts-sinhala
-fonts-tamil
-fonts-telugu
-liberation-fonts
+samyak-fonts
+VLGothic-fonts
+VLGothic-fonts-proportional
-xorg-x11-fonts-truetype

It suspiciously looks like a lot more - than +, so I'd appreciate some
input on what needs to be fixed here.
