The corefonts is sort of odd. I thought that was a system package, or

No, it was installed as a dependency of something else that either is
no longer installed or no longer requires corefonts. Here it's pulled in
by
% emerge --depclean -pv media-fonts/corefonts
Calculating dependencies... done!

I don't want to remove this unless
something else has replaced it or something. Anybody else removed this
with no ill effects?
You're not going to break your system by removing a few optional fonts.
These fonts have been on here for so long that I thought they were
something that the console used or some other system package needed.
After all, console has to have a font right? I just didn't want to
remove this, reboot and get a error that console has no fonts to display
or some such message. Then again, no fonts, maybe no message at all. lol
Now to see if I want these fonts and add them to the world file. I like
fonts. Try to keep a bunch of them lying around.
