    Description

      (i really dont know if this is the right component...)

      the thing is that für KDE Plasma, all tools just look for fonts az /home/$USER/.fonts this directory is deprecated, the newer one is $XDG_DATA_HOME/fonts (so in most cases this is /home/$USER/.local/share/fonts)

      to get support in KDE Software, its required that Qt supports this
