$ pacman -Ql | grep '/usr/share/fonts/$'
artwiz-fonts /usr/share/fonts/
gsfonts /usr/share/fonts/
ttf-dejavu /usr/share/fonts/
ttf-liberation /usr/share/fonts/
xorg-font-util /usr/share/fonts/
xorg-fonts-100dpi /usr/share/fonts/
xorg-fonts-75dpi /usr/share/fonts/
xorg-fonts-alias /usr/share/fonts/
xorg-fonts-encodings /usr/share/fonts/
xorg-fonts-misc /usr/share/fonts/

Which package 'owns' this directory? All of them? None of them? The last package being removed leaving the directory empty?
My guess is that this is what makes the question very hard for pacman to answer.
