New fonts are not visible in the font-folder

[HS]

I opened the gnome folder for the fonts via Font-Settings->Details. Path is
fonts:///
Now i drag a ttf-font-file into the folder-window. The font is now copied into
~/.fonts/ but it it does not appear in fonts:/// . This should be fixed.
Additionally: if i drag the ttf-file directly from the file-roller window into
the font-folder, nothing happens, the file even isn't copied into ~/.fonts/.

Is the font here after a nautilus restart ? Do you have fam or gamin installed ?
Are you using warty or hoary ?

[HS (hsedd)]

After a restart the font appears, right. And i do have fam installed, but not
gamin, I use warty.

There is a bug open upstream about this:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149498

I can still reproduce this problem in Hoary. The upstream bug report mentions
that the problem may be solved with Nautilus 2.9.90, but I don't see this on my
machine.

Hey, I can still reproduce it In Dapper !
I have to restart nautilus then my fonts appears in fonts://

(But no problem with file-roller)

Changing to Confirmed since that it has been confirmed by others.

Can still reproduce this bug with an up-to-date dapper, removing fonts from fonts: via drag-and-drop doesn't work either.

[Nicolas Spalinger (yosch)]

Still happening with Gutsy.

The file fonts:/// doesn't exist in Hardy, latest updated beta version. Fonts folder doesn't show in the fonts menu of System/Preferences/Appearance. Files dragged into .fonts file shows in all applications.

Thanks for your efforts to make Hardy the best ever.
