Description Tony 2023-07-10 19:26:50 UTC
I had a couple of new fonts I wanted to use, so I opened one of them up (from my Downloads folder) in the Gome Fonts application and clicked the Install button. After the font was installed and available to use, the state of the button didn't change -- It still displayed Installing).

I repeated this with the other font and got the same results. The system journal contained nothing interesting. Tried again with a few more fonts and got the same results.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open new font in Fonts
2.Click Install
3....
Actual Results:  
Install button state displays "Installing" despite the font being installed

Expected Results:  
The button text should perhaps change to "Remove" and become clickable again.

I get this problem in Fedora 38 but not in Fedora 34. I'll upload the file if I can find the way to do it...

I don't know how to add the font to this ticket. Perhaps it would be helpful. You can find it here: https://github.com/asdf23/qtWrite/blob/ttf_broke/data/drew1.tff
