Over the past few days of tinkering with fonts I've realised
that I have far more fonts than I need. It probably isn't impacting
the performance of my computer, however it does make the font menu
unwieldy to use. In practical terms I use one or two mono-spaced
fonts of command line usage and programming, one sans-serif font
in any written document, and a handful of other type faces for
effect only. I also use another sans-serif font for my GUI.
I can't uninstall plenty of font families, because a package that
I'm using depends on it, even though I'm not using the "default"
font that that package wants. For example I don't need Vera and
DejaVu, which are essentially the same. I've nothing against
non Latin languages but I can't read them, so don't need them
and while I can unload most of them, I can't get rid of them all.
Thankfully KDE allows me to deactivate fonts, so I've turned
all the ones I can't uninstall off!
