[Bug 42926] Re: Too many fonts are included in the default install

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.
