[Nix-dev] Proprietary fonts not installed by default

Hello,

In r16253, in `modular-nixos', I turned `fonts.enableCoreFonts' to
`false' by default, instead of `true'.  My attention had been drawn to
this package by the vision of `.exe', `.dll', and similar file names
while doing `nixos-rebuild'.

My opinion is that NixOS should not install non-free data, nor even
non-free software by default.  If we can reach a consensus on that, of
if the maintainer is OK to enforce it, then it's great.  Otherwise, I
think we should make sure it's a least easy to choose whether to use
proprietary data/software when installing NixOS.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Ludo'.
