I am a newbie and was looking at the fonts in Debian 12. There were a number of foreign fonts I don’t need. I downloaded the font manager to remove groups of fonts. Unfortunately, I could not find a way to select multiple groups of fonts to delete at one time. I tried selected the first font group, then holding shift and selecting the last font group, but that did not appear to work. Is there another way to quickly remove multiple groups of fonts with the Font Manager?
