bug persists with fonts 3.32 on Arch Linux.

Thanks for the report, I just pushed a fix for this problem to git master.
Comment 4 Strangiato 2019-09-20 00:11:52 UTC 
This bug persists with fonts 3.34 on Arch Linux.
Comment 5 Cosimo Cecchi 2019-09-29 00:57:08 UTC 
You may need to clean up your thumbnail cache to see the fix in effect, as thumbnails may already have been generated as empty or failed.
Unless you're running the flatpak, that should be in ~/.cache/thumbnails, otherwise in ~/.var/app/org.gnome.font-viewer/cache/thumbnails.
Comment 6 Strangiato 2019-10-01 10:24:41 UTC 
I reinstalled Arch Linux a few days ago and this bug persists with fonts 3.34 anyway.
Comment 7 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 10:58:17 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-font-viewer/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
