klick on a font(.tff). now the fontviewer start. klick on install and choose "systemwide". now polkit ask for a password. but then the install fail cause "the service failed to start file:///home/blah/font.tff"

the same error if we go the systemsettings way
systemsettings > fontinstall > add > font.tff > systemwide. 
local-only work without problems

SVN commit 1077329 by craig:

Can't use KAuth CMake macros, as KFontinst is not actually using KAuth -
but uses PolkitQt directly, as KAuth does not support Kfontinst's method
of operation.

KFontinst seems to require the '<policy context="default">' section in
the system dbus config file - and KAuth does not seem to be adding this.

When checking if the system service is started, call a simple 'ping()'
method so that the service is instantiated.
