SUMMARY When trying to open .ttf files from a folder, e.g. after downloading a font from the internet, KFontView just responds with "Could not read font.". STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Download a random .ttf from the internet, I chose Fira Code. https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/releases/tag/6.2 2. Extract the file if necessary, and open any .ttf. OBSERVED RESULT A "Could not read font" message. The journal says: kf.kio.core: Url QUrl("file:///home/username/Downloads/ttf/FiraCode-SemiBold.ttf") already represents a local file, cancelling job. EXPECTED RESULT It should open the file.
