Add 10 seconds per 100 fonts, remember that one only font has 4 variants, so 4 truetype files loaded at startup. I think it will be nice having a simple access to the folder ~/.fonts (no need for ../truetype folder access) to see them immediatly and remove them, like the "home" bookmark.

But is there any reason why the font installer we create (or whoever creates) could not have an un-install feature with it?
