Firstly, thanks from another one of those 5 users you predicted in your OP...
I was curious, so I did some extensive digging!
Desktop Linux use is currently something like 2.35% (https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide) and Canalys estimating the number of installed PCs and laptops worldwide to reach 1.77 billion by the end of 2021 (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tech-hardware-yearend-idUSKBN28Y12M) that means there's something like 41,595,000 people using desktop Linux... Just a few more than your estimate! 😛
I do personally have a single issue: not all of the screen thumbnails (in the scroller on the right of the Theme Designer screen) are being shown properly. Clicking on where the thumbnail should be still brings it up for editing on the left, but it's like the graphics are only being drawn for the screens visble in the window when it first opens. I'm running KDE Neon 5.22 - let me know if I can provide any more information to help you squash it!
Cheers!

Actually, everyone who uses "non-system" fonts should also name them - if possible with a reference address.
This is how you do it, this is how I do it and it is the best way not to put obstacles in the way of other users - it already starts when someone wants to individualize the names of the profiles ...
Exactly why I listed fonts on my first theme

Forget that! Just loaded it up to see...
You'll have to reach out to whoever made it and ask them for the font they used.
-
Just Google for the font's name and add "ttf" or "font" to the search...

Just another quick note, in case someone searches for font problems in the future...
If the font you wan't to use has any kind of license restriction (i.e. not 'properly installable' in Windows) then it wont show up in the Theme Designer font list, regardless of how it's inststalled!
The only way around this is to:
1. Download/install a font editor (I use FontForge personally)
2. Open the Font Information window for the font
3. In the "OS/2" section, on the "Misc" tab, change the OS/2 value under the Misc tab and set the Embeddable property to "Installable Font"
4. Generate the modified TTF file
5, Right-click on the file you just generated and choose "Install For All Users" from the popup
6. Exit the Theme Designer and reload - the font should now be listed and usable!
Hope this helps someone.

You're a star!
I have over 2500 fonts installed and am working on themes I plan to release soon. Sadly, most of my decent fonts weren't coming up in the Theme Designer list.
Did your all users install trick and loads more are available
Thanks for sharing the solution!

You can use a 75c theme on the 250c without a problem, but the 250c offers a number of unique features which aren't catered for on most 75c themes, I suggest you find a theme that states specifically that it will work fine on both...
You can edit a theme from here and change the way it works - but there's a steep learning curve!
What's the theme you're asking about?
