2016-07-27 01:37:41 Aritchie description Ubuntu 16.04.1 gnome-font-viewer 3.16.2 The Font Viewer desktop file refuses to actually launch gnome-font-viewer. I can type "gnome-font-viewer" from a terminal and it runs without any issues. Here is the content of the desktop file: [Desktop Entry] Name=Font Viewer Comment=View fonts on your system Keywords=fonts;fontface; Icon=preferences-desktop-font Exec=gnome-font-viewer %u Terminal=false Type=Application DBusActivatable=true StartupNotify=true Categories=GTK;GNOME;Utility;X-GNOME-Utilities; MimeType=application/x-font-ttf;application/x-font-pcf;application/x-font-type1;application/x-font-otf; X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Bugzilla=GNOME X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Product=gnome-font-viewer X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Component=general X-GNOME-Bugzilla-OtherBinaries=gnome-thumbnail-font X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Version=3.16.2 X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-font-viewer Ubuntu 16.04.1 gnome-font-viewer 3.16.2 What I expect: When I double-click the Font Viewer icon from the Dash Applications scope it should launch the Font Viewer. What actually happens: It does not. I get the waiting cursor and the Font Viewer tile on the launcher for a few seconds and then the tile disappears. I can go to a terminal and type "gnome-font-viewer" and it runs without any issues.
