   Thanks for your answers and possible help on question 2.   
      
   An additional question to [Yes/No] (no) being the default. On the   
   specifics "Yes" would replace the four Google fonts with (I suppose newer   
   ones) "No" would not, but also abort the upgrade installation (as I   
   witnessed).   
   QUESTION: what if I did not want those files replaced, but wanted the rest   
   of the upgrade installation to continue? How to?
