Font Dependencies to Langpacks

Summary

There are font(:lang=...) auto-generated dependency for fonts packages and packages that requires particular languages to get things working has those dependencies to pull it in. but that pulls packages in randomly and doesn't necessarily provide better result. particuarly when they don't have any fonts installed for those languages.

So this proposes to replace it with langpacks instead, which has proper dependencies for fonts and improve the user experience around fonts with applications.
