So, today I want to share the best font managers available on the market. I bet many of you are fed up with this problem too.

Luckily for me, some good guys invented Quora, and I quickly found what I needed to organize multiple fonts in one place on my PC. Man, I could run around my neighborhood for that stretch of time and take a shower with some fun as well. I am not one of those perfectionists who can’t fall asleep until they put everything in an ideal order but that disorder was so massive that it took me like half an hour to find the right version of the right font to use. It was like a torture to deal with that chaos of fonts scattered in multiple locations on my hard disks. I have noticed that Debian (with GNOME) and Manjaro tie dependencies to fonts and to other things so the entire desktop could be trashed if the user becomes happy deleting bloat that he/she doesn't want but those organizations insist on.I didn’t get pleasure from work anymore. I don't think 'libvlc' is utilized that much by other applications. On Spiral Linux KDE I wanted to be done with VLC entirely, but with the same threat to trash the entire desktop. I desired much much more to remove GNOME Software like I could on other distributions but purging that asked also to remove 'gnome-shell', 'gnome-desktop', 'mutter' - well you get the idea. On Debian GNOME if that is asked purged, the desktop stops functioning properly. Libre Office is one of the most outrageous programs in existence. It looks nice but on GNOME, not another desktop. There are other examples of hard-coded insolence, for example Thunar installed on a main desktop which is not XFCE. I was able to remove the 'Noto' fonts from Manjaro XFCE but it left me without wallpaper and with few icons: the audio volume indicator is a 'question mark' icon now, although I chose the theme taken from elementary OS. I want to be completely free from them, but it means I cannot choose that desktop environment. On KDE cannot delete the 'Noto' fonts in particular which is a very irritating and unnecessary dependency that was created. In my case, with terabyte storage, it's not an issue to leave it. If one is not upgrading however, it's simple to have it removed and live without it and regain the space on the filesystem. I guess I could configure upgrading to not reintroduce the package, but I haven't bothered and so it sits uselessly on my filesystem. I have removed it, but the problem is that Libreoffice restores it on each upgrade. The package contains fonts of numerous languages, which one can see if they list the files in the package. On the matter of removal, for example, the fonts-noto-extra package is a massive package of over 300MB which Libreoffice pulls in by default. I guess that the package manager would handle it well, but I've never messed with it that way. One can introduce individual fonts outside a package, but to remove an individual font which was installed from a package without removing the whole package may create an anomaly for the package management system. But not all these fonts with LInux can be system essential. Unless of course they are system required. Maybe the fonts are stored somewhere and I can just delete them (as I do with Windows). But I like UNIX feel comfortable with it. Then my company decided to go over to the mighty blue MS !! I have been retired some years. I was trainded on Sun Solaris so I was many years ago a UNIX administrator. I am pretty knew to LINUX and am trying to go over from MS Windows. Maybe I need to have root authority such as you get with SUDO and adding the root password. I go through the deletion process but they are still there. So then I tried to use to remove some of the Fonts I don't want. So I loaded the Font Manager from Software Manager - the one that says Font application for the GNOME desktop.

Ok I have all these fonts in TT format generallly. The core come from MS such as Arial (very common). I see lots of Fonts I do not recognise or use. Starting to create documents with say with Libre Office or any other such editor/word processor.
