Chase, as for the installer loading all fonts, I may take a look at
that. Is it just that the huge 130 MB Noto package gets activated and
loaded so anything can render? Maybe we should split the Noto package
into a core part with just the main font faces we use and then
additional one with the other faces, and only activate the core one
for the installer. I know app_server also does some font caching, but
I don't think that would be too much of an issue since I think it only
caches the specific font and weight we use (I think):
The FirstBootPrompt (not Installer) needs to render text in Japanese, Russian,
etc.
So we really need the Noto font in full here. There is no point in splitting it
up
more than it already is (there are separate package for the
Latin/Cyrillic/Greek font
and for CJK, and the Haiku package depends on both).
