What it says on the tin. It's untracked. I can't tell if anything uses it.
If it is used, we need to track it and find a better way of deploying it. If not, destroy it.

When we have lost the deployment servers content back in February (incident report) I did some forensic and it is used for gd rendering:
wmf-config/CommonSettings.php
putenv( "GDFONTPATH=/srv/mediawiki/fonts" );
The primary use is for ploticus which is used by the EasyTimeline extension. So that is quite legacy stuff.
I have dig in that with T39968 . My idea was to get the fonts to be provided by Debian packages BUT gd requires all fonts to be in the same path :-(
Maybe some trick can be found to symlink the fonts.
