This is a fat dependency: media-fonts/noto from Google all language support. Please optionalize with having a USE flag
What will happen to KDE when the default font is missing?
Or alternatively just provide USE flags to media-fonts/noto to disable all or some of exotic languages. I very rarely use nordic runes in my daily work ;)

It would still be a gain. Fetched file can be cleaned up afterwards, but keeping about 0.5GB of unnecessary fonts is a quite burden e.g. for people with small SSD for system. It is twice the size of whole libreoffice package.
Upstream confirmed that at least noto sans is required. But we could try to create a way more smaller package.
A cjk USE flag was introduced in bug #581344 which, when disabled, uses a repacked tarball that is substantially smaller.
