It did finish reading after 40234 languages and 703655710 script entries
each 4 reads + some more, so half an hour on my machine) but then needed
more than the 48 GB I have so I aborted in order not to destroy my ssd
... so indeed: don't install these fonts right now (the rpi 5/16 sitting
on my desk would already have burned out i guess).
