Title:
FFe: include gnome-font-viewer on Oneiric Desktop CD
Status in “gnome-utils” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Feature Freeze Exception Rationale
==================================
gnome-font-viewer (& the Nautilus thumbnail support) were removed from gnome-control-center 3 but were then added to gnome-utils. We missed this change when packaging gnome-utils until now. I'm requesting that gnome-font-viewer be added to the Desktop CD which fixes a regression from the Natty Desktop CD.
Original bug report
===================
gnome-font-viewer missing in Oneric
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=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
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 ;-)
