   Fonts + I deleted a crapload of them

   Hello everyone. I have just discovered an issue that I wasn't aware of for   
   quite a long time.  In the beginning, in the way-back time, I deleted a   
   lot of fonts from an installation of Linux Mint to get rid of the clutter   
   of fonts that I didn't need.   
      
   All fonts work perfectly in every application, terminal, bios, etc... in   
   Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon, which I am currently using, updated from several   
   previous versions.   
      
   All except for one odd exception and that is each individual program's   
   help dialog box. No matter the program, there is no text visible in   
   whatever program's help I choose to try to view.   
      
   I can still click on links within the help boxes, located only when a pop   
   up box shows me where the link is, and the links work but they take me to   
   another blank page.   
      
   Here:

   is an example using Gparted's help.   
      
   Is there a font I'm missing that can simply be downloaded and installed to   
   fix this or is it something that will take a re-install?
