Description Nicolas Mailhot 2009-09-13 21:31:04 UTC 
The reach of the gtk font selector should be extended by adding a button (or some other widget) to launch a packagekit window listing additionnal distro font packages that can be installed (the same way Microsoft allows people to transparently download new visio shapes from the vision shape selector)
Comment 1 Christian Dywan 2009-09-14 08:23:12 UTC 
GTK can't depend on packagekit and it can't use its DBus API either. Unless.. maybe GVfs can be used to implement a packagekit module that installs fonts.
Comment 2 Behdad Esfahbod 2009-09-14 13:44:17 UTC 
PK already installs a GTK+ module.  If gtk allows installing a callback to install more fonts, PK can do that.
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2009-09-18 21:35:25 UTC 
Needs someone who is willing to figure out the required api
