Can't delete fonts

[Dan Dascalescu]

I'm trying to delete fonts from Font Manager (not just disable them). After I click the "-" button, I see an empty dialog titled "Select fonts to remove". There are no visible controls to add fonts to the dialog.

You have no font files installed in your personal font directory.

Font Manager only allows deletion of files installed in the default user font directory.

At this time : ~/.local/share/fonts

0.7.4 makes this much clearer by showing a placeholder and explaining this in the help documents.

@jerrycasiano, I cannot confirm your reply.

I am using font manager 0.7.3 in ubuntu 18.04 and it does not provide a way of installing a font nor deleting a font, even if the particular font is installed in ~/.local/share/fonts

I also find it interesting that fonts located in ~/.fonts are listed as system fonts.
