Thanks. Tried a dummy run to see what would be removed. And got this....

[fang at altair ~]$ sudo pacman -Rcs ibfonts-meta-base

I guess if I try this, I'll need to start in single mode and run it as 
root - I doubt X will run with all those packages removed. I also guess 
I'd better make a list of the stuff that is being pulled so I can 
reinstall the standard package.

:) I may be reinstalling shortly - not at all sure that I can rebuild 
things after the change....
