If you use KDE, go to Control Center > System Administration > Font 
Installer, where you can selectively delete as many fonts as you like.
In Gnome, you can go to nautilus and enter fonts:/// to find them and 
delete.

They will still be present, just not available. Ultimately you could go 
to /usr/share/fonts (presumably where the files are) and delete 
directories you do not want.

I use Fedora, where I could also do 'yum list lohit*' to list all lohit 
fonts, then do 'yum remove ....' for all I do not want. I don't know 
what equivalent Slackware uses.
