Triaged
Bug description:
* Impact
The "update-desktop-database" command outputs some "invalid MIME type"
warnings
* Test case
- install gnome-font-viewer if it's not installed
- $ sudo update-desktop-database
you should not get warnings like those
Error in file "/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.font-viewer.desktop":
"font/ttf" is an invalid MIME type ("font" is an unregistered media type)
Error in file "/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.font-viewer.desktop":
"font/otf" is an invalid MIME type ("font" is an unregistered media type)
* Regression potential
Check that fonts files can still be opened from nautilus and preview
(browse e.g /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts in nautilus and open a file
from there)
