Should The RPM Have These Dependencies?

     Not being a developer, myself, I was curious about a 3rd-party
RPM I recently tried installing on a minimal Fedora 19 system.
     I figured that installing this RPM via yum would pull in any
dependencies it needed.  It pulled in a number of RPMs, but when I ran
the program, the fonts (this is a GUI program) were all screwed up.
All the characters were replaced by solid rectangles.  I had to
install a number of extra RPMs to fix that issue:

adwaita-gtk2-theme
dejavu-fonts-common
dejavu-sans-fonts
dejavu-sans-mono-fonts
dejavu-serif-fonts

     So, my question to you developer-types:  should that RPM have
pulled in those other RPMs as dependencies?  Or, is because these
packages are font and desktop-related and there are (I assume)
multiple font RPMs I could have used, it was right for the developer
to not list them as dependencies?
