Description Nicolas Mailhot 2008-12-03 09:49:56 UTC

The Linux platform is gaining an on-demand font autoinstallation framework (BSD
and Solaris will probably follow eventually).

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/AutomaticFontInstallation

KDE apps should be plugged into it and use it to request the fonts their documents need. This would have a huge user impact, especially for koffice.

Hi,

kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years.

KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have implemented this wish.

If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue.

We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.

Greetings
