I wanted to install sympy so when I typed

sudo apt-get install python-sympy

I get the following output:

The following NEW packages will be installed:

    dvipng fonts-cabin fonts-comfortaa fonts-droid fonts-freefont-otf

    fonts-gfs-artemisia fonts-gfs-complutum fonts-gfs-didot

    fonts-gfs-neohellenic fonts-gfs-olga fonts-gfs-solomos fonts-inconsolata

    fonts-junicode fonts-lato fonts-linuxlibertine fonts-oflb-asana-math

    fonts-sil-gentium fonts-sil-gentium-basic fonts-stix otf-freefont

    python-sympy texlive-fonts-extra texlive-fonts-extra-doc texlive-xetex

Need to get 228 MB of archives.

After this operation, 524 MB of additional disk space will be used.

Do I need all these fonts? I think that is what is increasing the size so much. If I don't need them how do I install python-sympy without the fonts.

As far as I can tell this is the page for the package python-sympy and it doesn't seem to depend / recommend the packages above.
