Font Management Fonts

Hey I am not sure if this is a bug or I am doing something completely wrong but I am trying to use "any" of the Nerd Fonts https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts or Overpass http://overpassfont.org/ font in Konsole but none of them appear in the Font Chooser under settings.

I have tried this on both the latest Kubuntu and the latest KDE Neon.

Overpass is installed to ~/.fonts
Nerd Fonts are installed to ~/.local/share/fonts

Oddly enough "Font Management" tool shows the Fonts

Is there a possibility that I am doing something wrong or is this a known bug with Konsole?

Could you please check if you see those fonts in systemsettings5 > Appearance > Fonts > Fixed Width > Choose...

KDE Neon Fixed Width Fonts

As you can see under KDE Neon Nerd Fonts do not show up under Fixed Width Fonts

Manjaro KDE Fixed Width Fonts

As you can see under Manjaro Nerd Fonts do up under Fixed Width Fonts.

Only thing different is that I installed nerdfonts in Manjaro through Arch User Repository.
Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2016-12-20 23:35:14 UTC
If they do not show up in the font choser dialog, then it is not a Konsole bug. I am reassigning to neon developers to check for differences in fontconfig settings, but I tend to believe you did not setup those fonts correctly.

I'm thinking something's not right with how you customized the system really.

Stock neon comes with the xdg home dir searched

```
$ grep fonts /etc/fonts/fonts.conf 
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file to configure system font access -->
        replace any existing fonts.conf file with the new version.  Place
        <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
        <dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir>
        <dir prefix="xdg">fonts</dir>
        <dir>~/.fonts</dir>
```

and as seen in the screenshot, putting a font in .local/share/fonts correctly makes it appear for konsole.

NB: you need to restart konsole after putting a new font in the directory. If you still have doubts, download the user edition https://neon.kde.org/download and try to reproduce your problem there. Please make a step-by-step list of what you do in case you are successful.

I have just installed a completely blank Neon User Edition. These are the commands I am running.

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install git (Makes sense)

git clone https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts.git ~/.nerd_fonts
cd ~/.nerd_fonts
sudo ./install.sh
```

Nothing shows after doing this.

Attaching an image of some feedback.
