Yeah I uninstalled them all at once. I'll try singling out the font/family but I need ome time to do this.

Meanwhile,I think it is not a particular font/family but rather the number of fonts causing the problem, per my obervation in # 7 of this thread [1]. If that's the case, you can never control which font to skip, because softwares often install their own: for example minetest game installs droid-fallback I think, there are large meta packages like https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy/fonts-indic or Math/printing fonts etc.

Hopefully someone can reproduce [1] to confirm my observation.
