Did drakbug crash, too? drakbug should have helped you to file this bug report.

Please start, as root in a terminal/konsole:

   journalctl -f 2>&1 | tee log.txt

and let it run while you reproduce the crash.

You can then stop journalctl -f with "Ctrl" + "C"

please attach log.txt to this report.

Does drakfont always crash when you discover fonts, regardless of the language you use?
If you have a multi-language Mageia installation, you can start it in different languages with e.g.:

   LANGUAGE=en drakfont
   LANGUAGE=ar drakfont
   LANGUAGE=fr drakfont

etc. etc.

journalctl -f 2>&1 | tee log.txt starts with end of previous run of drakfont

I've moved from MGA5 x86_64 to MGA6 x86_64 with distribution upgrade, first, and just now, with a clean installation of the Classical MGA6 installer, as I was having problems I couldn't solve.

One problem was with fonts and this bug caught my eye.  Generally, I could not find Century Schoolbook L in libreoffice, a font I use for my primary usage, estimates and invoices, over many years.

Using drakfont from MCC, thinking this font might have come at some time from my ancient XP Pro installation, I watched the dialog report the progress of the three or four tasks it has reported over the years, then drakfont just disappeared, so I didn't know whether it succeeded or not.  I could not see any Century Schoolbook font in the libreoffice font drop-down.

I can see one example in /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/fonts.dir from urw-fonts-2.4-7.mga6 e.g.:

$ cat /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/fonts.dir
...
c059036l.pfb -URW-Century Schoolbook L-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-standard
c059036l.pfb -URW-Century Schoolbook L-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
c059036l.pfb -URW-Century Schoolbook L-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1
c059036l.pfb -URW-Century Schoolbook L-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-13
c059036l.pfb -URW-Century Schoolbook L-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15
...

but I don't know if that is where my Century Schoolbook fonts came from in the past.

Many times, I've run `fc-cache -f -v`, did just now, and can see included in the output:

/usr/share/fonts/default: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 2 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1: caching, new cache contents: 35 fonts, 1 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/adobestd35: caching, new cache contents: 35 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript: caching, new cache contents: 8 fonts, 0 dirs


I don't know if I'm proceeding with fc-cache correctly but I would expect the fonts should be available immediately, the next time I open libreoffice writer.  Yesterday, I also logged out/in and rebooted on several attempts but it made no difference.

I will also attach the output of my run of drakfont from konsole while attempting to install windows fonts.

This message is a reminder that Mageia 6 is end of life.

Mageia stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 6. At that time this bug will be closed as OLD (EOL).

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version prior to Mageia 6's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we cannot 
be able to fix it before Mageia 6 was end of life.
If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
