Big thanks for the suggestion! :) Can you please advise, will I run into trouble if I remove the xorg-fonts?

If you manually installd `xorg-fonts` there should be no problem. Just make sure that you have at least some font installed that xorg can use. If `xorg-fonts` was installed as a dependency for the `xorg` metapackage, removing it will be a little more tricky. You may need to mark `xorg`'s other dependencies as "manually installed" and then remove both `xorg-fonts` and `xorg`: `xbps-pkgdb -m manual xorg-server xorg-apps xorg-input-drivers xorg-video-drivers` `xbps-remove -R xorg-fonts xorg`

> xbps-pkgdb -m manual xorg-server xorg-apps xorg-input-drivers xorg-video-drivers > xbps-remove -R xorg-fonts xorg I installed it manually, but this is very interesting. Will probably come in handy in the future. Thank you! :)
