IIRC there is an interest from other packages to use lyx-fonts without necessarily having lyx installed: # repoquery --whatrequires lyx-fonts calligra-core-0:2.7.4-1.fc20.x86_64 calligra-core-0:2.8.1-1.fc20.x86_64 calligra-core-0:2.8.2-1.fc20.x86_64 gtkmathview-0:0.8.0-13.fc20.i686 gtkmathview-0:0.8.0-13.fc20.x86_64 libreoffice-langpack-br-1:4.1.3.2-9.fc20.x86_64 [... snip lots of other libreoffice-langpack's ...] lyx-0:2.0.6-3.fc20.x86_64 lyx-0:2.1.0-0.fc20.x86_64 vdr-0:2.0.4-1.fc20.x86_64 vdr-0:2.0.5-1.fc20.x86_64 wordnet-browser-0:3.0-20.fc20.x86_64 So all those packages require the fonts provided by lyx-fonts. I hope that this makes sense. :-) Regards, -- José Abílio
