--- Comment #41 from Coburn Ingram <[email protected]> --- One thing that would really help is linking the default installed fonts to a user's LOCALE in the operating system. This is an upstream problem, but what happens on my Ubuntu system, when I choose US English as my install language, I get ALL KINDS of fonts installed that absolutely NOBODY in the continental US has ever heard of, let alone knows how to use. The fact that 128 million people in India speak English has absolutely NO BEARING on the fonts I need or want. They have their own locale! Let them install the fonts they like! A user who installs an OS with an EN-US locale should have absolutely NO non-English fonts on their system. Maybe a good Unicode font or two, in order to display web pages. But we should not have MORE non-English fonts than English. WE DON'T USE THEM! And so when it comes to LibreOffice, as I said, this is an upstream problem, and it is not going away right now. What we ought to have, plain and simple, is a page in Tools | Customize that allows us to CONFIGURE the font-menu! It just needs to be set up like the regular menu configuration, with the ability to reorder the fonts, and most important, a CHECKLIST that allows us to filter and NOT DISPLAY system-wide fonts. It needs to be its own tab in the Customize window. I will say that sorting fonts alphabetically is nice. It works for me. My only problem is that the system does not allow me to fine-tune the display of those fonts in any way. LO could provide that way. I highly encourage it.
