I don't think this should matter: I have the appstream file installed on disk
(urw-base35-fonts-20170801-4.fc27.noarch has it, and I check that the file
is indeed present).
And anyway, I upgraded to appstream-data-28-4.fc28 and restarted gnome-software
and there is no difference. So it seems that gnome-software for some reason
does not like that appstream file.
Too bad there's still no obvious way to diagnose this :[
I have not checked actually whether its working or not. Now as you
said its not working then we need to check the log files. E.g. see
which shows some warning. So this need to be fixed.
e.g. one of the file I checked upstream
which tells to use appstream-util on metainfo files to check them for
syntax validity.
