Community.. I have installed many types of fonts, about 1200, and I have been
testing. I can say that the biggest problem is in one of the truetype font
types .ttc

No, this is definitely not related to the kernel.

That it never happened to you in openSUSE is likely because you were using KDE4
then.

And the current problems are tracked in other bug reports anyway, see
comment#23.

I think the problem is the kernel, versions 4 or higher . With openSUSE and a
v3 kernel, it never happened to me.

Depends.
If an existing (open) bug report matches your problem, there's no need to file
a new one.

OTOH, if I understand you correctly, your problem also occurs if you copy your
font to /usr/share/fonts/ manually.
This is definitely not a problem of KDE's font installer then, as it is not
even involved.
And actually it might not even be related to KDE at all.

Thank you.
Do I open a new thread explaining it better?

It works fine here, as long as I install only one font.

And this bug report is closed, further comments are useless.

There are other similar bug reports that are still open though:
E.g.:
bug#349673 
bug#361960
bug#364493

This doesn't sound related at all though.

I can confirm it's still a problem with Kubuntu 16.04 and KDE 5.6.5. The font
seems to get installed even though the dialog hangs.

I copied my folder with my collection of type fonts on the route

/usr/share/fonts/personalfonts

Now the whole system is super slow, my opensuse 42.1 KDE is now useless.

I tried to do it with systemsettings5 and the same problem.  If you install the
fonts only for a single user the laggy is less. And the same problem with Linux
Mint KDE 18. 

if you add new fonts you  lose the system, I need the fonts to work ..

Thanks for point to that bug report, I wasn't aware of that one.
I've added a comment and reopened it.

  Christoph Feck  marked bug 349673  as a dupe of this one, and I just accepted
it, but indeed the description doesn't match up.   I should have read more
closely than just accepting. Reposting on that other bug , although I don't
have the rights to mark it as "unresolved".

This bug report was about the progress dialog being shown forever (and
systemsettings5 being completely frozen) in the KF5 version, even when only
installing *one* font.
And this should be fixed in 5.4 and up.

The problem you describe with multiple fonts is still reproduceable here with
5.6.2.
But it's probably a completely different bug and should be reported separately.

Confirm still a problem on Kubuntu 15.10  - fully up-to-date. Two separate
computers.

Attempt to install 2 of more fonts systemwide - asks for sudo and then crashes
on the second font.

1.  Add
2.  Select two TTF files
3. "Do you wish to install the font(s) for personal use (only available to
you), or system-wide (available to all users)?"  - select SYSTEM
4. "Modifying the system-wide font configuration requires privileges."  - enter
password and OK
5. "Error   Backend died, but has been restarted. Please try again."

observed - first font in selection has been 
expected - no error message at (5) and all fonts installed at once.

This bug reported 2015-03  but I'm pretty sure it was going on years before
that.  (I don't install fonts very often).

Since commit was to Plasma 5.4, then seems iike that it will be solved in
Kubuntu 16.04 (which ships Plasma 5.5) . Here's hoping.

Yes. The "Personal" option does not need root privileges and never had this
problem (as I mentioned myself in comment#5).

Maybe it's a more general problem with kauth in your case.

Do other actions work that require root privileges, like e.g. changing the
system time/date?

Do you get a root password dialog at all? If not, check that it's not hidden
behind another window e.g. (even kfontinstall's progress dialog)
As long as you don't enter the root password, kfontinstall obviously will not
continue (although it actually times out after a while here).

I still have the issue. KAuth 5.17.0-1 package of ArchLinux have been already
installed on my pc. Did you tried instaling fonts with the System option after
the commit went upstream (I know it's a silly question though), since
installing with Personal option works but System option causes dialog wait
forever. I removed the configs releated to kcmfontinst in the folder ~/.config
,hoping it might fix things, but I couldn't achieve further improvements.

And what version of KDE Frameworks are you using?
One part of the fix is in KAuth IIUIC.

The issue doesn't occur here any more (with Plasma 5.5.2 and Frameworks
5.17.0).

Today I've tried to install a font. Looks like bug still exist in version 5.5.2
so this bug needs to be reopened.
