Public bug reported: GNOME Software can only search and install packages which are (probably) marked as GUI applications. In terms of usability, it is a good choice and the chances to mess up a system are diminished.
As a result, it is not possible to install fonts. Fonts should also be regarded as packages that can be searched for and installed through GNOME Software. Reproduce: 1. Start GNOME Software 2. Search for "font" Expected result: several packages about fonts should be shown What happened: no packages are found ** Affects: gnome-software Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1655641 Title: Should be able to also search and install fonts, not only apps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-software/+bug/1655641/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
