From bug 116236:
As mentioned in
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/gnome-i18n/developer.html#plurals,
the common way of handling plurals is broken for many locales. A way to
solve this is by using ngettext instead, as mentioned in that document.

A simple code example of code using ngettext:

  g_printf (ngettext ("Found %d file.", "Found %d files.",
nbr_of_files),nbr_of_files);

We should make all of GNOME use this when needed.


Relevant strings:
#: capplets/font/main.c:495
#, c-format
msgid ""
"The font selected is %d points large, and may make it difficult to "
"effectively use the computer.  It is recommended that you select a size "
"smaller than %d."

#: capplets/font/main.c:500
#, c-format
msgid ""
"The font selected is %d points large, and may make it difficult to "
"effectively use the computer.  It is recommended that you select a smaller "
"sized font."

Both of these should be pluralized on "%d points".

Bug 124064 (providing ngettext check for control-center) is related to this
issue.
