Beginners' Questions Long load time with large number of fonts on linux

    I have a large number of fonts installed on my linux machine and inkscape is very slow to load.  I made the latex fonts accessible from inkscape by copying

    ```

    cp /usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-var/fonts/conf/texlive-fontconfig.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/09-texlive-fonts.conf
    ```

    and running,

    ```

    sudo fc-cache -fsv

    ```

    If I remove the latex fonts the problem goes away.  I only want one or two of the latex fonts accessible from inkscape (specifically cmu serif).  Is there any way around putting them all in?

    Thanks

    Martyn
