Set it to nil if you really need those fonts. *** The 'Z' command on a directory name compresses all of its files. It produces a compressed '.tar.gz' archive with all the files in the directory and all of its subdirectories. For symmetry, 'Z' on a -'.tar.gz' or a '.tgz' archive extracts all the archived files into a +'.tar.gz' or a '.tgz' archive extracts all the archived files into +the current directory; thus, typing 'Z' on a '.tar.gz' archive created +by a previous 'Z' command will extract the archived files into a directory whose name is the archive name sans the '.tar.gz' or '.tgz' extension. (This change was actually made in Emacs 26.1, but was not called out in its NEWS.)
