This should be fixed now in Ubuntu 12.10. Font Viewer offers an install
button which lets you install fonts to your profile.

Title:
a wish for easy installation of fonts by using "font book"
Status in GNOME Control Center:
Expired
Status in “gnome-font-viewer” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
If one wants to add a font to gnome... it's ridiculously hard at the
moment!
You could try system --> settings --> appearance --> fonts --> advanced -->
goto font folder.
This is not what normal user would expect! ever! well i didn't.
Searching forums gave finally the answer: just type fonts:// to nautilus!
What? really? developers??
Ok, it's at least a expected place, but no one could ever try that on first
time.
So I really, really wish for font book or my fonts app to control panel, and
thus ability to install system wide or user fonts
(which according to forums is possible). Application should also check for
crc:s in ttf, as sometimes those occur in downloaded fonts.
The best, obviously, could be that this wish is heard and we get "font
book" or "my fonts"
Cheers,
Petri Järvisalo
