Public bug reported:

I originally posted this as a question under the "Answers" section and
was encouraged to report this as a bug.

I noticed the the (large set of) M+ fonts were added to Retroarch as a
dependency recently, when they appeared in LibreOffice and investigated
using Synaptic. It looks like only one of the fonts is actually used,
and furthermore appears to be embedded in the source. See:
https://github.com/libretro/retroarch-assets/tree/master/xmb/monochrome
and https://github.com/libretro/retroarch-
assets/commit/3bac2689d8caa84091d37f7e6355703239af67e2.

If this is the case, then the font dependency should be unnecessary.
Perhaps likewise for Roboto.

Full disclosure: I actually noticed this first with the "Libretro
Stable" PPA on Xenial, but being unfamiliar with Launchpad found the
same problem with the official Zesty package and ended up posting
against the distro package from there. Not sure if I should make a
duplicate post for the PPA.
