4 years later still an issue. Just my 3 cents: perhaps move font dependencies from `*-desktop` metapackages to correct `language-pack-*` packages? You already have some suitable intermediate metapackages, like `fonts-indic` or `fonts-lao`, just create such sets for, say, `fonts- cyryllic`, `fonts-japanese`, etc.
For me there's not much difference in understanding if Chinese/Japanese/Hindu/Arab/Georgian/Korean/Kannada/Lao/* text renders as box-placeholders or as a correct font. I don't understand a word in either case. It is not that I am missing disk space or net bandwidth, it is just my eyes bleeding on each font-selection dialog until I do a clean-up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Edubuntu Bugsquad, which is subscribed to edubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/42926 Title: Too many fonts are included in the default install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/edubuntu-meta/+bug/42926/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~edubuntu-bugs Post to : edubuntu-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~edubuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
