Bug ID: 445569
Summary: Feature Request: Ability to search through both 'Font'
and 'Font Style' separately
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.23.3
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_fonts
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: random1123581...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Currently, it is very hard to find the font you want when just scrolling
through the font list. I know that when you type in the font name it gets
autoselected, but that feature is hard to discover, since there isn't a search
bar shown or anything. Also, with fonts like Noto Sans, it becomes difficult to
find the 'Font Style', because Noto Sans has a huge list of Font Styles and
also because they are in a seemingly haphazard order. It would be better to
have two search fields, for the Font and the Font Style, so that the process of
finding fonts is easier.
A suggestion (but just a suggestion): Somewhat like how the 'File Associations'
section does it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to the 'Fonts' section, and try to change the 'General' font to 'Noto
Sans' with Font Style as 'SemiCondensed'
OBSERVED RESULT
Very hard to search for it, because the styles are apparently not sorted by
alphabetical order
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be a way to type in the name to search for it.
