You should increase its prominance, including adding an icon. An intuitive next step to viewing other fonts should also be provided. Good work.

Perhaps the last one should be ‘Uninstall Font’ when viewing the actual installed font.

There are details in there about the type mismatch for .otf fonts: “ODF template” shows up instead of “OpenType font”.
