Description Luke-Jr 2022-03-04 08:05:02 UTC

kfontview fails to find kfontviewpart.rc, thus menu options defined by the KPart are unavailable.
The file is installed to /usr/share/kxmlgui5/kfontinst/, but kfontview is looking for it in/usr/share/kxmlgui5/kfontview/ instead.

I had same:
    kf.xmlgui: cannot find .rc file "kfontviewpart.rc" for component "kfontviewpart"

kfontview looks here (in this order):
    ~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/kfontviewpart/kfontviewpart.rc
    /usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/kxmlgui5/kfontviewpart/kfontviewpart.rc
    /usr/local/share/kxmlgui5/kfontviewpart/kfontviewpart.rc
    /usr/share/kxmlgui5/kfontviewpart/kfontviewpart.rc

but the actual file is here:
    /usr/share/kxmlgui5/kfontview/kfontviewpart.rc

Fixed by:
    ln -s /usr/share/kxmlgui5/kfontview /usr/share/kxmlgui5/kfontviewpart

This also fixed this issue:
