[trinity-devel] is hard dependency valid for CJK fonts for trinity-tdm/lib64xt6 on Mageia
Trinity-tdm refuses to install because via skip.list I block useless fonts (daewoo, jis, isas) from polluting my system and wasting bandwidth during installation and updates, which in turn blocks installation of lib64xt6. :-(
Googling for lib64xt6 seems interested only in providing hits for packaging and source, nothing about what it is or does. rpm -qi lib64xt6 does little better:
Description: X Toolkit Intrinsics library used to build older generation toolkits such as Motif & Xaw.
What could this have to do with otherwise optional fonts?

My guess? Absolutely nothing. CJK fonts aren't even an optional dependency for the equivalent Gentoo package (x11-libs/libXt). This is a quirk of your distro's packaging, nothing more.
