In light of the upstream response to this, and the fact that they are planning improved management tools for fonts and themes, I'm going to close this bug report as Won't Fix. ** Changed in: gvfs (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Won't Fix -- "Go to Fonts Folder" button and fonts:/// URL scheme broken in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193897 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Upstream aren't fixing this. From the upstream report: "I think per the discussions in IRC surrounding these backends that it's probably safe to close this as WONTFIX; fonts:// and themes:// are going the way of the dodo in favor of better management tools (appearances capplet, fontilus?)

[Bug 193897] Re: "Go to Fonts Folder" button and fonts:/// URL scheme broken in Hardy
AFAICT upstream is leaning towards having a separate utility to handle fonts. There was a fonts vfs patch but it wasn't complete and has now been dropped. Hopefully something like gnome-specimen can be extended to provide the needed fonctionalities. There's some discussion at the end of http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=407605 BTW, some work is also going on with the font selector itself: http://aruiz.typepad.com/siliconisland/2008/08/font-selectio-1.html -- "Go to Fonts Folder" button and fonts:/// URL scheme broken in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193897 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

that is why I did it the way I did, so that you not only could have the fonts in the shared folder, but you could add or copy your personal fonts whenever you wanted to.

[Bug 193897] Re: "Go to Fonts Folder" button and fonts:/// URL scheme broken in Hardy
Yes, yes... easy to create the .fonts folder in the home directory, and then just add fonts to the folder. But, what then shows is the font file name and not the font name. A small issue but still an issue. Certainly the gvfs structure will add the font names when it gets fully converted over. -- "Go to Fonts Folder" button and fonts:/// URL scheme broken in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193897 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 193897] Re: "Go to Fonts Folder" button and fonts:/// URL scheme broken in Hardy
That's a very convoluted work around. Just put the files in ~/.fonts/ and run fc-cache again, that's all the fonts:// backend ever did anyways. It's part of the reason some of us don't mind if it doesn't come back; we really need a new font installation utility instead of a silly VFS backend. -- "Go to Fonts Folder" button and fonts:/// URL scheme broken in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193897 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 193897] Re: "Go to Fonts Folder" button and fonts:/// URL scheme broken in Hardy
I should have said "Folder" and not "file". The fonts are considered files, and the folder is "MyBestFonts".

[Bug 193897] Re: "Go to Fonts Folder" button and fonts:/// URL scheme broken in Hardy
This is my workaround for installing my fonts: Open your location with your fonts folder. If your fonts are not in a folder, put your TTF fonts into a folder with a special marking such as "MyBestFonts". make sure that the folder has no spaces, or has dashes separating the words. I chose no spaces. Goto Places> Computer> Filesystem> usr> share> fonts Drag the "MyBestFonts" folder into the fonts folder. Ubuntu should start to copy them over. It might ask you a question. If it says "cannot do this, you don't have permission", then copy the file to your Desktop, open your terminal and tyoe: cd Desktop sudo mv MyBestFonts /usr/share/fonts Password for ? (Type in your password) After a couple of seconds, your command line cursor should come back. Type: cd /usr/share/fonts If the new file is in there, you've done it! Type: sudo fc-cache -f exit >From the desktop, go to Places> Computer> Filesystem> usr> share> fonts> MyBestFonts All of your fonts should be in the file, and if they have a lock on them, you can change that by changing their permissions to read and write.
