I wrote about the checkbox on the Basic Fonts page. A checkbox controlling a
similar functionality on Languages page is totally irrelevant to the
discussion, and mentioning it here repeatedly makes the problem confusing.
Please only refer to Basic Fonts functionality. Languages are off-topic in this
issue.

Please elaborate on your words, to not let me guess what you meant by

I *guessed* you suggested to remove the Basic Fonts settings altogether - and I
asked if I was right; because if I was right, then your idea had nothing to do
with my words that you answered.
