Not sure if you use this app or not. Forgive me if I'm "preaching to the choir" or not.I just noticed Winetricks is a little bit broken now, it keeps throwing up checksum errors for a lot of files. I had to install some things like fonts manually, easy enough though.
I use the "font manager" to install all fonts. In fact I find this particular application so versatile, I don't use any other utility when it comes to fonts. The same one I use when I want certain fonts not to show in word processing apps like Abiword or LibreOffice Write.
With Pop!OS22.04 I was pretty successful in deleting so many useless and unnecessary fonts from my drive. But in Mint 21.3 this process is a bit more precarious, and I am reticent to be so aggressive about purging so many fonts that are just a waste of hard drive space. I learned the hard way not to mess with so many postscript fonts embedded into various Linux distros, as they impact applications like Photoshop 5.5.
Though it still irks me to see long lists of fonts in word processors that I will never use. So the "font manager" comes in mighty handy at times to "filter their presence out" (uncheck the font name) without deleting them. Just be sure to reboot or the font you want to hide may still appear. It's one Linux app that I really depend on.
One of the few apps I use outside of my native repository:
sudo apt-get install font-manager
