Also, I hate how ubuntu studio comes with a bunch of low quality free
fonts, it makes it awkward to browse your font catalog. Maybe having
less, but better fonts could help Ubuntu Studio be a better tool
(anyway, anyone can get as many fonts as they want from dafont or
-better- sites like Squirrel Font or Open Font, so less fonts might
be a good way to go).
This I agree with even though I rarely do art or even formal text
projects which need fonts. However, the few times I have used
different fonts, I have fount it difficult to find anything. I have
also stumbled on a lot that didn't look very nice. The idea of
including lots of fonts was 12.*-ish as I recall.
The fonts was one of my complaints a few years ago and UbuntuStudio has
greatly improved in this area. Most of the bad/redundant fonts come from
Ubuntu. For example, on a fresh installation the family "Noto" takes up
over a quarter of Inkscape's font selection tool -- there are like 60
variants or something ridiculous. I understand the logic behind Ubuntu's
choice to include several sans-serif fonts that are all pretty much the
same, but I wish I didn't have to uninstall a dozen font packages
whenever I do a fresh OS install.
