Default fonts families are defined in fonts.conf.
-
All other font settings reside in the conf.d folder.
Many of the other settings involve blocking fonts which cannot be uninstalled due to them being dependencies of other programs. If I have no need for a font I usually disable it. My goal is to only have fonts on my system which I actually want.
In this folder, you'll find a fonts.html file which shows which fonts are blocked and how some fonts are aliased to other fonts. Please note that this html file is best opened in LibreOffice as Firefox or Chromium only use fontconfig partly (and hence might show different fonts than the intended ones)

compatibility with MS Office. That said, we don't need all of the fonts provided by
these two packages.
The Ubuntu Condensed font was blocked.
Bitstream Vera is for the most part identical to DejaVu, but does not have emojis. This is a good thing! This way Vera does not interfere with my emoji font. No fonts are currently blocked for Bitstream Vera.
The font collection ttf-vista-fonts provides a nice collection of fonts for better
