Description Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2002-06-27 05:59:54 UTC
ok not sure if this is technically possible. But it would be nice if users
could install new fonts through the font capplet. These would of course be
per user fonts.
Comment 1 Luis Villa 2002-06-28 21:03:57 UTC
You should take a look at porting the GNOME Setup Tools Font Tool :) 
Comment 2 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2002-10-08 23:23:03 UTC
this should be pretty trivial with font config right...setting target
to 2.2 but feel free to adjust...

SPAM as discussed last night. Search for 'SPAM as discussed last night' to catch
these all and delete them. :)

Clearing target milestone, since it's for the exclusive use of module
maintainers.

Isn't this covered by the "Go to font folder" button (and fontilus?)

Comment 8 Rob Bradford 2007-03-11 22:55:46 UTC
The fonts can be accessed at the moment with fonts:// in Nautilus, however i'm not sure where this is exposed in the UI. Owen mentions something previously about a "Go to font folder." Where is this, has this button disappeared?

Bumping the version to 2.17.x
Comment 9 Denis Jacquerye 2007-07-19 22:57:17 UTC
"Go to font folder" is available in the Font Render Details windows of the font control capplet.
Comment 10 Chris Jones 2008-05-01 15:54:48 UTC
The "Go to font folder" button is no longer available in the Font capplet. Nor is fonts:// available in gnome 2.22.
(the docs for 2.22 suggest that both of these options are available).

Comment 12 Cosimo Cecchi 2010-11-04 09:17:20 UTC
-> gnome-utils

gnome-font-viewer has now moved to gnome-utils, reassigning.

It seems anyway, this is possible with the "Install" button in gnome-font-viewer (which could be improved, but it's already covered by other bug reports).
Closing as OBSOLETE.
