Yes, I have read the bug report. In fact, I am subscribed to this bug,
because I am the one who reported similiar bug about Firefox
performance:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462660

And that's why I am subscribed to that bug. Remember that by "font" I
mean a TTF file (one font includes few TTF files - variants of one font
- like bold, italic, condensed, light and all combinations). If you have
read the whole bug report, you could notice this:

40% of our I/O is just loading the fonts.

Yes, of course this is problem with Firefox, but this problem doesn't
exist on Windows at all. Making font packages depend on language packs
could fix the issue. I can understand why you could think that was
offensive, but I meant installing of these fonts for languages that
don't use it at all. I assure you, I didn't want to be offensive and
believe that I've offended no one. This bug concerns not only
Libreoffice and Firefox, but gedit and other GTK applications as well
(the new font dialog loads every font at startup, so opening standard
GTK font dialog takes about ~10 seconds. Not mentioning that all fonts
weigh almost 140mb (this is loaded into memory while opening font
dialog).
