Comment 36 for bug 1873628

So I think this is good news, I removed these whole font families,

**at the expense of pdf viewers,printers, some software**

(essentially every font package but not making the system unusable)

# sudo apt-get purge fonts-noto-* fonts-twemoji-svginot fonts-wine fonts-urw-base35 fonts-lyx fonts-mathjax fonts-freefont-ttf fonts-liberation2 fonts-liberation fonts-roboto-unhinted

and the drop down menu works fine (1.7/6.10, no terminal spam). So this is not a permanent solution since after autoremove another whole set of packages will be removed, as these are essential.

Anyone else can reproduce this?

Maybe consider replacing it with a font-box (Notepad/wordpad for example) rather than a drop down?
