Allow disabling unused fonts en masse [#1931162]

Disabling multiple fonts at admin/appearance/fontyourface is slow going.

A multiselect checkbox interface (perhaps with "select all / deselect all" at the top) would make things a lot quicker/easier.

I can see a multiselect interface being useful for people who have enabled a lot of fonts, but my impression is most people only ever enable a few fonts. So I don't think this should be the default interface, but there's no reason we couldn't have an alternative "advanced" interface.

(just IMHO) Tableselect is evil. It gives you a feeling of control but there's still a lot of clicking to do, and it's pretty easy to go wrong by accidentally clicking wrong checkbox.

If I understand the underlying use case correctly, it's like this:

you've enabled some 30 fonts and played around with them,
now you've chosen four fonts to keep and want to disable the rest,
and disabling 26 fonts one by one seems too slow.

A Disable unused fonts button that disables all fonts that have no selectors assigned would solve the issue, wouldn't it?

Yes, a 'Disable unused fonts' button is an even better solution. You've entirely predicted the use case I had in mind. If this is still not possible, I'd settle for a table select - yes there's still some clicking, but at least you aren't going through a confirmation page per font - THAT is evil :D
