[Back after three weeks far from home...]

The problem with this is: removing those fonts breaks other things.  I
ended up putting them back onto my system after, as I recall, Emacs
stopped displaying non-ASCII text correctly (or at all).  So we may be
giving advice that some users come to regret having followed.

As a result, I'm really not sure what the best thing to do here is.
