Font Manager ignores shortcuts

[jamal-ali1989]

I am on Fedoda KDE 41. I verified that I had Libertinus fonts installed. Although they were installed in "/usr/share/texlive/", they had a shortcut on "/usr/share/fonts/". However, Font Manager would not see any of these shortcuts. I had to manually add them so they could be visible.

Since you ignored the issue template, we don't know what version or how you installed Font Manager.

I can't repro on Fedora 41. Font Manager from COPR picks up symlinks just fine. I don't have any other copies of Libertinus from other sources.

$ dnf list --installed font-manager '*libertinus*'

I'm closing this out as not only can we not duplicate it but even if we could it would either be an issue with Fontconfig or the system configuration.
