Yes a lot of space in general ends up being used by fonts. I'd lean
towards saying we should make things optional in comps rather than
making explicit changes to the livecd, though from a maintenance point
of view. Although I guess if we wanted to do it first on the livecd for
F9 and then in general for F10 via comps, that'd be okay
Well, things like 'these fonts are only useful outside of fontconfig',
or 'only really used for various terminal emulators' are decisions
probably best left to the spin, not to the generic comps.
