fonts

Uhh... Why in the world do you have to remove the fonts? The only time I
even notice that they are there is when browsing foreign language websites,
and even then it beats seeing character placeholders. Is there somewhere
they are getting in your way?

Regardless, Ubuntu isn't "meant" for any language - The entire OS is
available in basically every living language today, and for very good reason
- The world doesn't rotate around English speakers, nor are thy the only
folks taking advantage of this incredible software...
