Description Grissiom 2009-05-29 17:08:05 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.3)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages

In KDE4.2.3, I choose "All supported formats" and explore to the folder that hold my otf fonts, there is nothing on display. I have to manually type the file name to install. So the filter is error.

Comment 1 Dario Andres 2009-05-29 17:36:09 UTC

Do you mean in the font selector module inside SystemSettings? Anyways it should be a filedialog bug
Thanks

Comment 2 Grissiom 2009-05-30 03:55:05 UTC

Yes, it's the file select dialog.

Comment 3 Dario Andres 2009-06-16 00:24:43 UTC

Just confirm you are having this problem on the Font Installer module on SystemSettings.. Is that right ?
Thanks

Yes, you are right. Bug still in KDE4.2.4

Thanks

Comment 5 Dario Andres 2009-07-15 15:55:55 UTC

Here using:

Qt: 4.5.2 (KDE-Qt git commit 46a247a2c9a8c0c4456a02f6a0922d859d88fe76
        Date:   Fri Jun 26 13:45:37 2009 +0200)
KDE: 4.3.60 (KDE 4.3.60 (KDE 4.4 >= 20090706))
kdelibs svn rev. 996016 / kdebase svn rev. 996016
on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.30

I can reproduce the bug. I just downloaded a foobar.otf font and it wasn't recognized by the Font Installer kcm.

I checked the mimetype discovered by "kmimetypefinder", and it was "application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.formula-template"

Then I renamed the "foobar.otf" file to "a" and "kmimetypefinder" found the mime properly: "application/x-font-otf" (and that file was indeed shown in the Font Installer kcm AddFontsDialog)

So, this is a Kde Mime bug.

Comment 6 Oliver Henshaw 2009-07-15 16:49:37 UTC

I see this (with KDE 4.2 on Fedora 11.)  I'll add that:

$ xdg-mime query filetype blah.otf
application/x-font-otf
$ file blah.otf
blah.otf: OpenType font data

Comment 7 Dario Andres 2009-07-15 16:53:32 UTC

@Olivier: what is your output for "kmimetypefinder blah.otf" ?

Comment 8 Oliver Henshaw 2009-07-15 17:06:50 UTC

Sorry, I didn't mention it because it was the same as in comment #5.

$ kmimetypefinder blah.otf
application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.formula-template               
(accuracy 100)

Packages:

kdebase-runtime-4.2.4-2.fc11.i586
xdg-utils-1.0.2-8.20081121cvs.fc11.noarch
file-5.03-2.fc11.i586

Comment 9 David Faure 2009-08-20 18:55:29 UTC

This was fixed in shared-mime-info on 2009-07-31.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20854

The fix will be released in whatever the next release of shared-mime-info is after 0.60, I guess it will be called 0.70.

And I confirm that it works. kmimetypefinder doesnotexist.otf still says openformula, but accuracy 20, and kmimetypefinder real_opentype_font.otf says application/x-font-otf (accuracy 100).
