FontManager/font-manager

Displayed font names could be longer

The font list truncates font names too aggressive. There is much space that could allow a longer visible part of names. (At least in Manjaro, KDE Plasma 5.26.5 w. KDE Frameworks 5.103.0 and Qt 5.15.8.)

(BTW, "Search Familie" looks like an English-German mix. Field could be a trifle longer.)

Which version do you use? This was fixed several versions ago:

It is Search Families… German would be:

Version 0.8.8-1, installed from the Manjaro Community repo.

It's an outdated repo issue, then. Sorry to bother you with that.

This should be fixed in 0.8.8. Wonder why you do still have it.

It looks like it was fixed shortly after 0.8.8 was released. So the Manjaro package may not include that commit.

Building from git would tell us for sure.

In any case, a new release will become inevitable soon. I'm just trying to put it off as long as possible as I would prefer the GTK 4 port to release as 0.9

For the Archoids there is only the Manjaro community repo with version 0.8.8-1.
AUR (as per your readme) does no longer have it.

I built most recent from source. The gutter is smaller, but there is still room for improvement; 2..3 mm is enough. Also the checkbox column could be much narrower. I guess both are upstream GTK settings that would require an unreasonable effort to mitigate.
