Also if you remove packages - fonts-noto-extra - fonts-noto-ui-extra - fonts-noto-cjk - fonts-noto-cjk-extra# ? I just did so here and font selection requester is much more palatable than before. Still installed are: - fonts-noto - fonts-noto-color-emoji - fonts-noto-core - fonts-noto-hinted - fonts-noto-mono - fonts-noto-ui-core - fonts-noto-unhinted For certain locale selections during installation it might be necessary to install more than that.
