SUMMARY
When trying to install fonts from samba shares, font manager can open share, go
to the relevant directory and select the font, but installation fails with "The
file 'smb://[email protected]/fontname.ttf" could not be found'. File
location is in `smb://[email protected]/directory/fontname.ttf`, though.

1. Open System Settings --> Font Manager
2. Use button "Install font..."
3. Navigate to file location on a samba share, including opening network,
password entry etc.

Font manager opens file and installs font, as it does with the same font when
using a local location.
