Hello, I am the user who expressed concern about the fonts in Ubuntu
Studio. I believe the volume of installed fonts is a problem, though a
minor one in the scope of development. The first thing I do with a new
installation is use Synaptec to remove anything that is universe or
mulit-verse (I have no idea which fonts are necessary for Ubuntu core).
This noticeably improves the loading time of graphics programs and stops
Inkscape from crashing when selecting a typeface, which happens
regularly with large a font list. In addition, the variety of included
fonts is unbalanced, weighing heavily on the side of impractical display
typefaces. It is quite overwhelming. I think better font organization
would greatly improve the user experience.

I like sakrecoer's idea of a better organized font manager with a
limited number activated by default. Also, I would like to suggest
adding an option to install different fonts in the Ubuntu Studio
installer, much like how audio plug-ins are treated.

Let me know if I can help. Thanks.

Title:
  Amount of fonts distributed are too many - brings down loading time
  for applications

Status in Ubuntu Studio:

Bug description:
  A user reported this issue the Ubuntu Studio contact mail, and I found it was a fair point.
  We should minimize the fonts we distribute to an amount which is reasonable.
