I purged them, now fc-cache reports on 110 font directories, which contain 953 files from which there are 189 truetype files. Is this considered many nowadays? Now the font selection was visible. It fills the full height of my 4K monitor but I have the impression it does not show all fonts (see below). In order to achieve a visible change of my default font I choose Microsoft Comic Sans. But nothing happens, I still see fira code. > The reason the oldXMenu is noticably worse off here, than, say, the > Lucid menu, is because it maps a separate window (known as "panes" in > the XMenu library) for each font family.

I reinstalled all noto fonts and strange enough this time I see menus, but only some of the noto fonts. I assume there are more noto fonts, but I cannot see a font which is not noto. I assume that is, because of the stacked nature of the layout of the menu there is not enough space on my 4K monitor for all the fonts. I wished for a font selection where I can choose among rendered fonts and their attributes and see the effect of my decisions before applying them.
