Ridiculous font drop-down

> but these packages are really relevant to some users

Those users are a tiny minority, and the vast majority suffers from
interminable font drop downs like in the screencast.

Those users most likely will install in their language (in which case
installing all the fonts is fair game).

And the amount of users who SIMULTANEOUSLY need Khmer and Devangari and
Anatolian Hieroglyphs, is zero.

Why are these fonts opt-out post-install and not opt-in pre-install?

What if the installer had a list of fonts? Then the users who really need them
will select them and proceed. Heck, even select them all by default - that
would still give a chance to the vast majority to unselect them. And I'd bet
that at that point, when it's readily visible how much font junk would get
installed by default, we'd get tickets to make them *unselected* by default.
