It is installed by default to provide the broadest possible locale
support out of the box. For users of these locales, doing it
post-installation is often difficult.

As I mentioned in another thread yesterday, currently it's not possible to prevent this.

I don't see why an Australian user (for example) should automatically get all the middle-eastern and asian fonts. It is true we have a significant Vietnamese community here in WA, they should be able to _ask_ for their language support during installed.
