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, please see: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User_Experience/ToDo/Product/Font_Categories
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".
