GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 595102
Allow PK font installation from the font viewer
Last modified: 2021-07-05 10:58:25 UTC
gnome-font-viewer should include a button (or some other widget) to launch a packagekit window listing additional distro font packages that can be installed (the same way Microsoft allows people to transparently download new visio shapes from the vision shape selector) Lack of fonts is a recurring user complaint; distros include many font packages, but they are usually not installed by default and users are not aware of them
-> gnome-utils gnome-font-viewer has now moved to gnome-utils, reassigning.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-font-viewer/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
