Description dnwilson 2003-06-08 23:25:11 UTC 
Enhancement Proposal ? provide a option to selectively exclude fonts from being displayed in 
the font select list. 
 
I propose that there be a new panel like the font replacement panel, which displayed all the 
available fonts with a check box, which if selected would stop that font being displayed in the 
font selection list. It would not stop the font being used in documents. 
 
 
Rational  
 
I have over 50 fonts on my system, some are just nice to have in case, some I might someday 
want to use, or I might get a document from somewhere that needs them, or have been 
installed by other application so need to stay on the system. 
 
Out of the 50 fonts or so fonts listed in my OOo font selection list I would probably only ever 
actually select from about 12 of them. 
 
I would like to hid most of them from showing up in the list. As it time wasting to scroll through 
them all. 
 
An other advantage would be that certain fonts that caused problems for OOo, due to being 
broken etc, could be disabled by default by this means.

I have created a new wiki page with more advanced concepts to filter fonts out,

There is a lot of material and links on the subject in issue 79878

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
