Bug description:
[Impact]
While gnome-font-viewer can be started from command line, it fails to
start via the .desktop file. The issue was fixed upstream via this
commit:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-font-viewer/commit/?id=acf919c
The attached patch cherry picks that commit.
[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.
