(Get the code!)
No response in nearly a year. This is extremely frustrating.
To clarify the above comment, this is not really about saving disk space, per se. Rather, the point is that in this case, the "shared library" approach wastes space, which completely defeats the purpose.
The real frustration for ordinary users is that when packages like this pull in large collections of fonts, they pollute the font lists of applications like LibreOffice. The kneejerk response I've seen is "you should disable them with a font manager", but the current options are defunct (fontmatrix) or so broken as to be unusable (Gnome and KDE's font managers).
