Feature: Show status when installing fonts #14504

Description

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Upon installing a large amount of fonts through the Files app, it has struck me that there was no visual (in app) way to know whether the installation had finalised already or not.
I believe that the status centre would be the perfect location for such an indication.

Requirements

If fonts were to be installed through a loop in a single file as suggested in #14503, this would potentially make it much easier to track the progress of a file installing operation.

Files Version

3.1.1.0

Windows Version

10.0.19045.2788

Comments

The only somewhat reliable way one currently has to track such an operation (albeit a quick one with few files) is to look for high CPU utilisation in the Windows Task Manager.
I think we can all agree, that from a UX standpoint, having to resort to such a workaround sucks.
