Ha. Thanks. But it wasn't really directed at you, I apologize if it seemed that way.
The package in the repositories is extremely outdated and broken. I was actually trying to get the attention of the package maintainers or someone who can make the update happen. Since I haven't been able to get a response through email. I've submitted similar comments to all open bugs against font-manager in Launchpad. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to font-manager in Ubuntu.

Every time I try to start it up it crashes with the following error below: ---------------------------------------------------------- INFO : Verified /home/nandu/.fonts.conf INFO : Font Manager is now starting Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/font-manager", line 104, in <module> main() File "/usr/bin/font-manager", line 95, in main Main() File "/usr/share/font-manager/main.py", line 90, in __init__ self.objects.load_core() File "/usr/share/font-manager/main.py", line 398, in load_core self.data['FontManager'] = core.get_manager(self.data['MainWindow']) File "/usr/share/font-manager/core/__init__.py", line 739, in get_manager MANAGER = FontManager(PROGRESS_CALLBACK, parent) File "/usr/share/font-manager/core/__init__.py", line 121, in __init__ fonts.Sort(self, self.progress, self.parent) File "/usr/share/font-manager/core/fonts.py", line 289, in __init__ self._sort() File "/usr/share/font-manager/core/fonts.py", line 412, in _sort obj = self.cache[name] File "/usr/lib/python2.6/shelve.py", line 122, in __getitem__ value = Unpickler(f).load() cPickle.UnpicklingError: invalid load key, '/'. ---------------------------------------------------------- A similar problem is reported on: http://code.google.com/p/font-manager/issues/detail?id=30 but as far as I know it is not related to a font problem as said in the post above. Furthermore, it is marked as fixed hence, my reason for starting a new bug report. I have also deleted the files .fonts.conf, .fontconfig and .fonts created by the package and reinstalled the package several times but the problem persists. Please do let me know if any other information is required.
