Those folk might as well go back to simple monospaced text. of the 1980's attempt of e-books on a dumb terminal.
ASCII Art anyone?

@belle Cherry pick what you nuke (eg Times, CharrisSIL) or choose to make use of the devices "fonts" folder. I don't know about you, but I only can read only so many books a year and my device has more than a years TBR (I delete finished books, That is Calibres job to Bulk Store for latter reread consideration.

@kiwidude would it be hard to have QC optionally use a font filter list (Either AlwaysKeep or ToRemove) ?
I too disagree with blind bulk deleting. The problem is you don't know what you are deleting. A good example is the book The Martian. It uses monospace fonts in a way that you want to keep them. I did not like the choice of fonts embedded so I removed the body font and changed the embedded monospace font to just monospace so I would get the monopsace font RMSDK was using. That worked. Has I bulk deleted, I would be missing out on a batter reading experience.

I agree with asking for a font filter list.
