I successfully installed a font using the Local Fonts provider interface. I clicked on the edit link for the font and then opened the details dropdown. The font name is highlighted as a link, which I assume is supposed to be a link to edit the font details. When I click the link I am directed to a localhost address, which gives me an error because I am not developing locally. I have the font applied to the body tag, and I wanted to change the font-weight property from normal to bold. The localhost link seemed like the logical place to do this. Am I missing something?

Looking at this, I don't believe the font works that way. Its just an address the font stores locally for where the font can be found (this is mostly useful for external fonts when a user wants to see the font on Fontsquirrel, fonts.com, etc). From what I see, the font cannot be edited once it is created. So you would be better off deleting the Font Record (there is a button next to 'Cancel Changes') and re-adding the font to the site with the appropriate font style and weight.

I'm marking the issue as closed because I'm not familiar enough with the local fonts module to be able to figure out a good patch for it, focus is on 8.x and there is a (non-optimal but still decent) workaround to the issue unless someone else is able to issue a patch.
