Screenshot error message

Deactivating existing fonts
A large number of non-Latin fonts are installed during installation. These interfere with work, e.g. in Writer.
In the font management, there is an option to deactivate a font record.
If this option is selected, an error message is displayed (see screenshot).


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start font management
2. Goto specific font entry
3. Choose "deactivate"

Do you get a prompt to enter your password before the error message appears?

> Do you get a prompt to enter your password before the error message appears?

First, you are asked whether you really want to deactivate the selected font.
If you confirm, you are asked for your password once, and the error message appears immediately afterwards. For additional fonts, you are not asked for your password again. The error message is displayed immediately.
