This topic again?

AFAICT, there's just *one* package that requires hack-fonts:
$ rpm -e --test hack-fonts 
error: Failed dependencies:
        hack-fonts is needed by (installed) plasma5-integration-
plugi-5.13.2-1.1.x86_64

The reason for this is that "Hack" is the default monospace font in a Plasma5 
environment.

If it's not installed, there would be a fallback to any other font, which 
might not even be a monospaced one (which would in turn break konsole, e.g.).

It's only getting pulled in by plasma5-workspace in the end though.

Kind Regards,
Wolfgang
