Hello, My use case is of typical desktop use: - Changing the default font of the desktop environment - Choosing a font in a LibreOffice document It is the annoyance of going through the big list of useless fonts (from my point of view) in LibreOffice in order to find a good font for the three languages that I use: English, German and Arabic. I'm not sure about making a case regarding the performance of fontconfig caching many fonts, so I'll leave that out to whoever knows better than me. Best, Amr
