Description Simon Ochsenreither 2010-11-02 11:56:39 UTC 
Current behavior:

Currently gnome-font-viewer lets the user "install" the font, although the font is already in the .font directory.

Additionally, clicking "Install", closing the viewer, opening again and clicking "Install" again results in "Install failed".

Expected behavior:
gnome-font-viewer should behave more intelligently in general:

 - Don't show "Install" if the font is already in .fonts, show "Already installed" instead. Don't just look in the .fonts, but also in subfolders for the file.

 - Don't just fail to "Install": Check if the file already exists (and the file/the version is the same), if .fonts is writable, etc. and display a meaningful error message.


Thanks!
