KDE font viewer could not read font

Hi everyone, I have almost finished my configuration with my Arch setup, and most things went quite smoothly. The only minor bug I have is that I use KDE Plasma as my desktop environment, and I cannot view the fonts I installed either by using the "Font Management" tool in system settings or by directing opening .ttf files using KFontView. In either case, an error dialog with text "Could not read font" will pop out. From my setup process I knew that the base version of KDE in Arch only contains the most essential packages in KDE, so I suppose that some packages are missing. Has anyone encountered similar problems, and if so, how can I solve it?
