This might pull in a quite large font collection that might be different from what the user wants. For a Japanese image e.g. you might not want these at all or you might just want different fonts (like the Android ones). I would be fine removing this RRECOMMENDS entry without any replacement. Another option would be to create a virtual provider for basic ttf fonts and define a matching run time dependency. What do you think?
