Bug ID: 163242
Summary: Add an option to the LO installer to skip installation
of fonts / make installation of fonts optional.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Installation
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When LO is installed for the first time or updated, then the installer
automatically installs A LOT of fonts into the operating system.
This is bad because users have to manually remove them which is very time
consuming.
Also, installing fonts without asking is a really really bad practice.
It clutters the system and also clutters the font selection lists of all the
other applications on the system.
In the LO installer/updater many components can already be toggled to be
installed or not to be installed. Fonts should be one of those components that
can be skipped during installation if the user so wishes.
So please: Add an option to the LO installer to skip installation of fonts,
i.e. make installation of fonts optional.
Many other bug requests here in the bug tracker demand that for years.
It can't be so hard to add this option to the installer, right?
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install or update LO using the installer (on Windows for example).
Actual Results:
A lot of fonts are installed into the system that the user might not want.
Expected Results:
Fonts should only be installed if the user hat activated that option in the
installer.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
There should be an option in the LO installer to skip installation of fonts,
i.e. make installation of fonts optional.
