I recently updated my Tumbleweed system to snapshot 20220706. This added to my system a bunch of fonts through 'patterns-fonts'. Most of them I did not want as I usually only use english language fonts. Is there a way to remove the non-english fonts without having to go through them, deleting one at a time? -- \ ^ / 0 Turtle / v \ wame nuttauwadtuongash

AFAIK fonts are language agnostic. Doesn't matter if you write English or Spanish. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.3 (Legolas))

Well, kind of. English and Spanish might not matter, but other languages do. Some recent TW update wanted to bring in over 200 font packages, taking ~.5GB, I didn't previously have like noto-arimo-fonts noto-cousine-fonts noto-kufiarabic-font etc. I was able to curtail it by uninstalling and tabooing "patterns-fonts-fonts_opt". -- Jason Craig

This is something we are still looking at and most of these will likely move to a different font pattern that most users won't have installed by default. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

I had this one crop up for me over the weekend. I just have these 2 noto fonts installed: $ rpm -qa|grep ^noto-\* noto-sans-fonts-20220607-1.1.noarch noto-coloremoji-fonts-20211101-1.3.noarch and these 2 font patterns: patterns-fonts-fonts_opt-20170319-6.1.x86_64 patterns-fonts-fonts-20170319-6.1.x86_64 yet a `zypper dup` wanted to pull in MANY more noto related items. I decided to `$ sudo zypper addlock noto-\*` and then do the `$ sudo zypper dup` dealing with all that noto-* related stuff later. After the dup was done and I removed the lock, the overall desire the system had to install the 30-50 additional noto-* items was no longer there ~ probably cause the pattern was updated w/ the lock in place blocking the additional fonts. Happy accidental solution since I don't mind a well-intentioned '--suggests' or '--recommends' (and I don't want to disabled them system-wide) but this one seemed excessive. -- ~ Scott Bradnick |- Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) Developer |-- Tumbleweed: |--- Dell Precision 5540 [NVIDIA Quadro T1000] (x86_64) |--- O-DROID H2+ [UHD Graphics 600] (x86_64) |--- 2x Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.2 (aarch64) |--- 1x Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2 (aarch64) |--- WinBook TW100 (x86_64) https://keys.openpgp.org/ :: DBC5AA9A2D2BAEBC
