Comment 2 Nate Graham 2021-07-29 19:27:07 UTC

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.

Comment 6 Nate Graham 2021-12-13 19:17:42 UTC

Looks like the recent JSON porting caused the "this KCM is Wayland only" thing in the desktop files to get broken.

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.
FIXED-IN: 5.24
