I'm fully agree with atie. All this fonts which is in recommends to ubuntu-desktop should be Recommends or Depends for language-support-* packages. Not to ubuntu. Big part of ubuntu users need only Latin fonts. The rest is installing their language support package.
According to me i'm wiping all this xfonts* packages except -base and just installing msttcorefonts which is suite all my needs.
First of all it will decrease base desktop install size. Second it will make list of fonts smaller. Third it will reduse download and installation time for users who is installing ubuntu via http//ftp.
