Description

Hello,

Debian 13.3, CODE 25.04.8.2-1, Nextcloud 32.0.5, Nextcloud Office 9.0.2

I came across the following error in the syslog (every 1 minute):
2026-02-04T23:07:10.730016+01:00 srv coolwsd[637289]: wsd-637289-637522 2026-02-04 23:07:10.729725 +0100 [ remoteconfig_poll ] ERR Make sure that https://domain.tld/apps/richdocuments/settings/fonts.json contains a property 'kind' with value 'configuration'| wsd/RemoteConfig.cpp:115

When I opened this file in a browser, I noticed that the "kind" variable contained the value "fontconfiguration". Maybe this can be unified somehow?
