Oh, I added it to RDEPEND after Raúl Porcel (armin76) asked me on IRC to
do that - I think the issue was that the browser failed to launch
without the fonts installed.

I don't remember all the details here, but do you have some idea for
better solution? I'd like the browser to be "launchable" out-of-the-box,
an elog message like "Your browser will fail to start if you don't have
ttf-fonts" wouldn't be OK I think.

Yeah, I just added an elog for the Asian fonts here too.
