A user's list of available typefaces is typically quite large. One often has some entries in it which, while seeming appealing, end up being not what you're expected: * Low-quality * named similarly to a font you really want but not actually that * doesn't have glyphs for the language you wanted to use it for (especially before 151122 is resolved) * has some/many glyphs for the language you wanted to use it for, but lacking others, or lacking some special features (e.g. alternative-style digit glyphs) or whatever. It would be useful if I could tell LibreOffice: "Remove this typeface from my list and don't show it again". UI-wise, this could happen via a right-click on entries in the font list in the font selection tab of the character format dialog; and the list could be managed via Tools > Options (as an app-scope choice, not document-scope or session-scope).
A: why do you install fonts that are unusable, and B: why don't you filter those out with tools from your OS/DE? I do so in KDE [1] for these millions of Noto variants. -1 to reinvent the wheel. [1] https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/plasma-workspace/kcontrol/fontinst/index.html

It's not that such fonts are unusable (otherwise, yes, I would just remove them altogether), it's that LibreOffice has the wrong notion about them. For example - putting them in the list of fonts relevant to a certain language group (or in the future - a certain specific language). Whether it is LO's "fault", or the font's "fault", I would like to remove it from that list without removing it from my system.
Please give a real-life example. "I want to use XYZs on the app(s) Foo* but not at LibreOffice." with a clear hint why it applies to many font to make this micromanaging necessary in LibreOffice. I shared my Noto* example and do definitely not want to fiddle around some other font list than what KDE offers me.
