Closes #4412

PR Description:

Adds a multi-select "Additional fonts" option to the Applications menu, allowing users to install common font packages during installation:

  • noto-fonts (Unicode font coverage for most languages)
  • noto-fonts-emoji (color emoji for browsers and apps)
  • noto-fonts-cjk (Chinese, Japanese, Korean characters)

Nothing is pre-selected - users pick what they need or skip entirely. Follows the same pattern as Audio, Bluetooth, and Firewall applications.

Tests and Checks

  • Open Applications -> Additional fonts -> select one or more -> install completes with packages
  • Skip fonts entirely -> no font packages installed
  • Save/load config with fonts_config via --config
