Even though Pinta fixed this, I think we should not ignore the underlying problem - hundreds or thousands of fonts installed by default on Ubuntu systems, the *vast* majority of which we don't need, as they are far-eastern scripts.
I've been trying to persuade distro maintainers to provide an option to only install fonts relevant to the selected locale, or at least Latin fonts as a fallback option if that's too complicated.
