I think it will install the user interface in that selected language. I 
for example like very much my interface to be in English, but be able to 
see correctly Japanese, Chinese and Finnish web pages. For that I need 
the fonts. I don't need the user interface pack.

What's wrong with you people? Is it so dangerous to be influenced with 
foreing language on operating system which started on Finland where 
people speak language which has maybe 6million people speaking it worldwide?

I understand need to cut down packages when installing to small space 
(Like really limited netboot) But most of the time it really doesn't 
matter and makes system more usables for us who need to be able to see 
world outside of english speaking world.
