--- Comment #16 from Walter Nicholls <walter at nic.gen.nz> ---
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.
