[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#972666: flatpak: Fonts not being found

[rv]

Package: flatpak
Version: 1.8.2-3
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: riveravaldezmail at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

after discovering that the flathub Scribus app doesn't find the whole of the system installed fonts I informed about there:

https://github.com/flathub/net.scribus.Scribus/issues/21

Following advice I tested it with AbiWord and found the same issue (which seems as a flatpak issue, therefor this report).

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Essentially I created a file with AbiWord/Scribus (debian repositories packages)  and applied a specific font to a text and saved. Now, opening those files with AbiWord/Scribus (flatpak apps) results in the program not finding the font.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

That flatpak has access to all installed fonts.

Thanks a lot, let me know if I can give any useful info.

Best regards!
