<div dir="ltr">I have struggled with this issue because all those non-European fonts (like Gubbi and Kacst1) clutter up my font selection menu in LibreOffice. Some of them are very nice fonts, but I will never have the expertise to take advantage of them. And LibreOffice is "gullible" toward fonts--it does not allow you to manage them from within the app. So half to two-thirds of my default fonts, I will never use. I have found that I can delete them. They are part of the Ubuntu desktop setup. But if you use Synaptic, you can go in and manually select all the font families you do not wish to use, and then right-click and uncheck "Automatically installed." This will clear the package settings of all the fonts, and you can then delete or purge them. You could also go into your Synaptic history once you have done that, copy the list of fonts you deleted, paste them into Gedit, do a few find-and-replace actions, and "voila," create a script for re-deleting all those default fonts (make sure you also set them to "not automatic") every time you install Ubuntu from scratch. </div> <div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 11:32 AM Stephen Satchell <<a href="mailto:list@satchell.net">list@satchell.net</a>> wrote: </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">I'm having a few problems with fonts on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Here are my issues: 1) I just learned that Type 1 fonts are no longer supported. I supposed this is because Adobe has retired Type 1 fonts. True? If so, why are Type 1 fonts still in the distribution? Are existing Type 1 fonts in Ubuntu going to be replaced with their equivalents in supported font types? 2) Using Font Manager and Fonts, I find there are a number of fonts that just can't be removed using tools. For example, "Droid", "Gubbi", "Kacst" family, "Kalapi", "LKLUG" are examples of fonts that are on the system, but not included by installed packages that I can find in Synaptic and Font Manager, let alone uninstall them. I'm sure there are others that I would like to remove. How? 3) Fonts application shows fonts that Fond Manager doesn't see. One example is "dingbats", which is in /usr/share/fonts/X11/encodings/adobe-dingbats.enc.gz. There may be others, but I've not investigated this fully. Can you point me to a guide to properly manage *all* the fonts in my installation? -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list <a href="mailto:Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss</a> </blockquote></div>
