I have KFontView installed but it loads much slower on Gnome and it doesn't show the font informations (description, copyright, version, ...). On the other hand, it allows you to see all characters which is sometimes useful too. That's why I have both installed.

Here is a workaround. Download the 2.32 Natty version: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/i386/gnome-control-center/1:2.32.1-0ubuntu15 Extract the content. Go to gnome-control-center_2.32.1-0ubuntu15_i386/usr/bin and copy `gnome-font-viewer` and `gnome-thumbnail-font` to your /usr/bin directory. To make the font viewer system wide, run in terminal: gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/gnome-font-viewer-mime.desktop Copy, paste and save this into the empty file: [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Type=gnome-font-viewer Name=gnome-font-viewer Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-font-viewer NoDisplay=true MimeType=application/x-font-otf;application/x-font-pcf;application/x-font-ttf;application/x-font-type1; Run in terminal: gksu gedit /etc/gnome/defaults.list Copy, paste and add this to the bottom of the file: application/x-font-pcf=gnome-font-viewer-mime.desktop application/x-font-ttf=gnome-font-viewer-mime.desktop application/x-font-type1=gnome-font-viewer-mime.desktop application/x-font-otf=gnome-font-viewer-mime.desktop To enable fonts thumbnails, run in terminal: gksu gedit /usr/share/thumbnailers/gnome-font.thumbnailer Copy, paste and save this into the empty file: [Thumbnailer Entry] TryExec=/usr/bin/gnome-thumbnail-font Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-thumbnail-font -s %s %u %o MimeType=application/x-font-otf;application/x-font-pcf;application/x-font-ttf;application/x-font-type1; Quit all instances of Nautilus (nautilus -q) Now it should be working ;-) Sources: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=22517 http://returnfalse.net/log/gnome-3-and-nautilus-video-thumbnails-with-ffmpegthumbnailer/ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/839407/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
