a wish for easy installation of fonts by using "font book"

[Petri Järvisalo]

If one wants to add a font to gnome... it's ridiculously hard at the moment!

You could try system --> settings --> appearance --> fonts --> advanced --> goto font folder.
This is not what normal user would expect! ever! well i didn't.

Searching forums gave finally the answer: just type fonts:// to nautilus!
What? really? developers??
Ok, it's at least a expected place, but no one could ever try that on first time.

So I really, really wish for font book or my fonts app to control panel, and thus ability to install system wide or user fonts
(which according to forums is possible). Application should also check for crc:s in ttf, as sometimes those occur in downloaded fonts.

The best, obviously, could be that this wish is heard and we get "font book" or "my fonts"

Cheers,
Petri Järvisalo

Thank you for your bug. There is already a request upstream on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86598

This should be fixed now in Ubuntu 12.10. Font Viewer offers an install button which lets you install fonts to your profile.
