Public bug reported:

So is gnome-thumbnail-font...

Here is a workaround.

Download the 2.32 Natty version:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/i386/gnome-control-center/1:2.32.1-0ubuntu15

Extract the content.

Go to gnome-control-center_2.32.1-0ubuntu15_i386/usr/bin and copy
`gnome-font-viewer` and `gnome-thumbnail-font` to your /usr/bin
directory.

To make the font viewer system wide, run in terminal:

    gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/gnome-font-viewer-mime.desktop


Copy, paste and save this into the empty file:

    [Desktop Entry]
    Version=1.0
    Encoding=UTF-8
    Type=gnome-font-viewer
    Name=gnome-font-viewer
    Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-font-viewer
    NoDisplay=true
    MimeType=application/x-font-otf;application/x-font-pcf;application/x-font-ttf;application/x-font-type1;


Run in terminal:

    gksu gedit /etc/gnome/defaults.list


Copy, paste and add this to the bottom of the file:

    application/x-font-pcf=gnome-font-viewer-mime.desktop
    application/x-font-ttf=gnome-font-viewer-mime.desktop
    application/x-font-type1=gnome-font-viewer-mime.desktop
    application/x-font-otf=gnome-font-viewer-mime.desktop

To enable fonts thumbnails, run in terminal:

    gksu gedit /usr/share/thumbnailers/gnome-font.thumbnailer


Copy, paste and save this into the empty file:

    [Thumbnailer Entry]
    TryExec=/usr/bin/gnome-thumbnail-font
    Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-thumbnail-font -s %s %u %o
    MimeType=application/x-font-otf;application/x-font-pcf;application/x-font-ttf;application/x-font-type1;

Quit all instances of Nautilus (nautilus -q)

Now it should be working ;-)
