+ [Impact]
+
+ While gnome-font-viewer can be started from command line, it fails to
+ start via the .desktop file. As can be seen in comment #3, it seems to
+ be related to DBus somehow.
+
+ The problem is not present in version 3.20.2-1 in yakkety, and since
+ there is no obvious single commit in the upstream source which could be
+ patched, the proposal is to backport the yakkety version as an SRU. It's
+ built in this PPA:
+
+ https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/font-viewer
+
+ and there are no runtime dependency blockers.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ Try to start gnome-font-viewer from the Dash and find that the launch
+ fails.
+
+ After having installed the proposed upload, starting the application
+ from the Dash works fine.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ gnome-font-viewer is an independent tool, which doesn't affect other
+ parts of the system. Hence the regression risk should be low.
+
+ [Original description]
+
