[Bug 839407] Re: gnome-font-viewer missing in oneiric
Thanks! I just fixed it.
** Description changed:
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
-
+ 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;
-
+ [Desktop Entry]
+ Version=1.0
+ Encoding=UTF-8
+ Type=Application
+ 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
-
+ 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
+ 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
-
+ 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;
+ [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 ;-)
