Yeah it's not yet supported on Wayland. We can use this bug report to track making it compatible. Added it to https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland_Showstoppers I have just tried plasma wayland and it seems Fonts are present, visible and usable. I have installed sddm-wayland-git and enabled wayland on sddm (although I have not confirmed yet it really runs on it). I think Fonts were working, even before this, but my memory is not strong enough...

Font selection is, font installation is not.
It was lazily disabled. It needs fixing.
Font Management KCM is present on Wayland session of neon unstable. Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.89.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Graphics Platform: Wayland Looks like the recent JSON porting caused the "this KCM is Wayland only" thing in the desktop files to get broken. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/systemsettings/-/merge_requests/104 Git commit 24ef056891784924047b24fad629469621cfab88 by Alexander Lohnau. Committed on 14/12/2021 at 09:29. Pushed by alex into branch 'master'. Respect X-KDE-OnlyShowOnQtPlatforms setting when querying KCMs KServiceTypeTrader took care of this behind the scenes. Because of that we need to manually check the values when querying the plugins. Needs https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/commit/0a1cc4b62498ff532f7d7fff2ebb1ef4ae096a94 and https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kinfocenter/-/commit/01c039cdf71a3e3e828443e8e2a1d3ff525ed18a.

[kcms/kfontinst] Re-enable on wayland The entire KCM was diabled due to crashes: Since c305dcd85dc718a9c5f832fa8e56ca291f8044be the relevant section is disabled instead of crashing. This allows us to reintroduce the KCM, albeit with previews currently disabled.
