--- Comment #12 from Coburn Ingram <[email protected]> ---
The elephant in the room is that the LO font list is unbelievably cluttered
with a default install (using Gnome on Ubuntu). If your default is EN-US, you
get lots of fonts installed that are used in English-speaking countries that
you will never use! I am referring especially to Indic and Asian fonts.

The solution to that problem is to metapackage Indic and Asian fonts upstream,
and only install them when a user chooses a locale where they are used! But
until Gnome/Ubuntu get their act together, LO needs to have a way to hide font
packages and metapackages. The upstream locale inadequacies simply highlight
the need for a font selection list. It is obviously useful in other contexts.
Just keep it simple! A clutter problem does not call for a cluttered answer.
Thanks.
