Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: thunar-data

Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
:~$ apt-cache policy thunar-data

Installed: 0.9.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1

Expected behaviour: Font thumbnails to be created in Thunar file manager
so that you can, at a glance, see what the font is like.
What happened: No font thumbnails only generic font icon instead.
Thunar's font thumbnailer does not work. Browsing my Truetype fonts
shows only the generic font icon. The problem lies with the following
file:
/usr/share/thumbnailers/thunar-vfs-font-thumbnailer-1.desktop
File contents:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=X-XFCE-Thumbnailer
Name=Thunar Font Thumbnailer
Comment=Creates thumbnails for font files
TryExec=/usr/lib/thunar/thunar-vfs-font-thumbnailer-1
Exec=/usr/lib/thunar/thunar-vfs-font-thumbnailer-1 -i %i -o %o -s %s
MimeType=application/x-font-otf;application/x-font-pcf;application/x-font-ttf;application/x-font-type1;
# vi:set encoding=UTF-8:
Changing the file to contain the following fixes the problem:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=X-Thumbnailer
Name=Thunar Font Thumbnailer
Comment=Creates thumbnails for font files
TryExec=/usr/lib/thunar/thunar-vfs-font-thumbnailer-1
MimeType=application/x-font-otf;application/x-font-pcf;application/x-font-ttf;application/x-font-type1;
X-Thumbnailer-Exec=/usr/lib/thunar/thunar-vfs-font-thumbnailer-1 -i %i -o %o -s
%s
# vi:set encoding=UTF-8:
I believe this bug is also in version 0.9.0-10ubuntu1 as well as the backports
version.
