[Bug 1459525] Re: Amount of fonts distributed are too many - brings down loading time for applications

 

I am against removing fonts, unless they are broken. Inkscape is a slowstarter but it has never crashed on startup due to fonts on my machines. This written, we can still try to make the font-situation better. :)
The fontmanager setting allows us to blacklist fonts in an xml file: ~/.config/font-manager/select.conf. I'm not sure to what extend this is saving any system resources. Nor have I found where the "collections" within the font-manager-ui are stored, neither am i sure how to ship these settings, but i could provide a config-sketch, with 5 collections: Sans, Serif, Mono, Script, Fantasy.

  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.
