            Bug ID: 136550
           Summary: Installing unwanted fonts
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Installation
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
The Libreoffice installer adds something like 50 fonts to Windows. For people
who don't want those fonts, it's an intrusion. I end up deleting them. Couldn't
installing the fonts be made optional? Or an installer without the fonts be
offered? The latter would be a great benefit since it would mean a much smaller
download with a shorter install time. Please consider this. I don't always
update because I'll have to then go back and delete the unwanted fonts.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install the update
2.Go to the control panel and remove all the fonts the installer just shoved in
3.

Actual Results:
About 100 unwanted fonts

Expected Results:
100 unwanted fonts


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
If you make the fonts optional, a shorter install time and no unwanted fonts.
Better yet, an installer without fonts for a much shorter download time and
shorter install time.
