Thought I'd share this with you all.
I won't argue that there might be a better way to do this, but this works in as much as it's bulky.

fc-list displays all your fonts and sub fonts.
I just did a bit of 'grep -v' to get rid of a few fonts that were totally useless IMO.

Feel free to use it.
Make a <name>.sh file and make it executable.
If you put it in ~/bin, on most systems that will make it run from anywhere.
If there is a line wrap issue going on in your newsreader, this script is basically 3 lines of code.
Other than the first line 'cd' command and the last line 'xdg' line, all the others should end in a \ character.

I edited the menu and added a new item in 'other' so I can executed it there. Don't set to run it in terminal.

Here is the code between the lines
---------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

cd ~/bin # only to keep the html file in a known place.

(echo '<html><body><center><font size=6>Font List</font></center><br><br>' \
&& (fc-list : family |sed 's/,/\n/' |grep -iv droid|grep -iv emoji| grep -iv dingbats| \
grep -v [a-z]10 | grep -iv 'noto sans .* .* ' | grep -iv 'noto serif .* .* ' | \
grep -iv symbols|grep -iv music | sort|uniq \
| awk -F" " '{ print "<font face=\"arial\" size=5>#"FNR" "$1" "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5"<br> \
<font face=\""$1" "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5"\" size=6> \
0123456789 0O il1il1 ABCDEFGHIJKLMW abcdefghijklmw -?#!<br>0123456789 0O il1il1 abcdefghijklmw \
ABCDEFGHIJKLMW -?#!<br>0123456789 0O il1il1 ABCDEFGHIJKLMW abcdefghijklmw -?#!</font><br><br>"}') \
&& echo '</body></html>') > fonts.html

Odd. I copied and the space at the end of the line
</center><br><br>' \
does not copy and paste. All \'s have to have a preceding space.

And there are a lot of the pipes | characters not copying either on line 6
between family & sed, then in front of the next grep, then between emoji & grep and one after dingbats with a space
before the \ at the end of the line.

For the hell of it I'm going to repost again to see what happens.
I edited just a bit by putting spaces on both sides of the pipes "|".

BTW, this is a useful piece of software imho:

https://github.com/FontManager/font-manager

Features:
Preview and compare font files
Activate or deactivate installed font families
Automatic categorization based on font properties
Integrated character map
User font collections
User font installation and removal
and more.

You don't need the PPA, a slightly older version of Font Manager is in
the repos.

A quick look revealed that Big Al's fc-list script shows the active
fonts, not the disabled (deactivated, but still installed) ones. So it
does not "display all our fonts and sub fonts". Still useful, of
course. However, a new challenge lies ahead ;-)

How do you deactivate a font? This would be a nice feature if it didn't hinder any software that needs them of course.

With Font Manager. I have no idea how it's done. However, the program
is open source, so taking a expert look at the source code...

I had it installed, but just don't use it. I'll give it a look.
Disabling a lot of fonts I don't want to see would simplify that font program removing all those 'grep -iv xxx |' items.

That's the idea. For low value materials like log dumps,

In the past, font managers moved files out of folders, to change
the managed content. There were font managers, that could turn
on "sets of fonts" that sat in folder(s). Effectively adding
or removing a subdir of fonts. The mechanisms weren't terribly
sophisticated.

Xorg back in the old days, the fonts were in sets and something
like "xset" managed them.

https://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/fonts2.html

xset +fp /usr/local/fonts/Type1 # Starting a typical X server, there might be five sets of fonts
# Maybe an Xorg logfile has the evidence ?

How is it done in Wayland ? Not a clue.
