Remove most Asian fonts

 

Remove most Asian fonts

7. If you're not a user of Asian fonts, you might remove a couple of those. That should free up several hundred MB's of disk space, but more importantly: the font selection box in Libre Office will become much less cluttered.

Note: sometimes, removing fonts may have unwanted side effects! Although I haven't experienced those on my machines yet after the removal of the Asian fonts described below, it's something to keep in mind....

This is how to remove most Asian fonts:

a. Launch a terminal window.
(You can launch a terminal window like this: *Click*)

b. Copy/paste the following command line into the terminal, in order to avoid typing errors. It's one huge line:

sudo apt-get remove "fonts-kacst*" "fonts-khmeros*" fonts-lklug-sinhala fonts-guru-extra "fonts-nanum*" fonts-noto-cjk "fonts-takao*" fonts-tibetan-machine fonts-lao fonts-sil-padauk fonts-sil-abyssinica "fonts-tlwg-*" "fonts-lohit-*" fonts-beng-extra fonts-gargi fonts-gubbi fonts-gujr-extra fonts-kalapi "fonts-samyak*" fonts-navilu fonts-nakula fonts-orya-extra fonts-pagul fonts-sarai "fonts-telu*" "fonts-wqy*" "fonts-smc*" fonts-deva-extra fonts-sahadeva

Press Enter. Your password will remain entirely invisible, not even dots will show when you type it, that's normal. Press Enter again.

c. Just to make sure, follow it up with this terminal command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig

Press Enter.

d. Reboot your machine.

Finally: I strongly advise to leave it at that. Don't remove any other fonts, because of the aforementioned risk of negative side effects!

How to undo: re-install removed Asian fonts

7.1. Regrets? If you want to re-install the Asian fonts that you've removed by applying the how-to in item 7, simply replace the word "remove" by "install" in its removal command line. Run dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig again, reboot and all should be like it was before.
