[SOLVED] Dolphin: Font Previews not Appearing

Hey all, think you can help me?

I'm missing some font previews for KDE's Dolphin file manager. So far, I've managed to get most of everything I need installed by following this article here on the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dolphin#File_previews , but for the life of me, I just can't get one final preview to manifest on my system, which I've been building from scratch. TTF font files aren't appearing as they should (as opposed to a fully functioning KDE DE) and I didn't really see anything about this on the wiki.

I've included a screenshot to the problem: https://imgur.com/a/XC5yXlE

Could I be missing some sort of dependency that's needed to make these previews appear as they should? Any ideas?

EDIT: I figured this out. If anyone else runs into this issue and you're building your system from scratch then you need to have package

breeze-icons

for Dolphin installed since I think KDE uses breeze as a default. They should show then!

Snap is generally disabled by default on Linux Mint Cinnamon, but it can be enabled and used.

Uh. Okay. Please don't necrobump, especially solved topics, and extra especially with information not relevant to Arch Linux. What Linux Mint does or does not do is not useful here.
