Public bug reported:
I recently upgraded from 16.10 to 17.04 Alpha. I noticed that
https://git.gnome.org/ was nearly unusuable with Firefox (although it
displayed ok in Epiphany and Chromium). Well that website use Cantarell
as its font.
I tried opening gnome-font-viewer but got no content. When I ran gnome-
font-viewer from the command line, I got this output:
** (gnome-font-viewer): WARNING **: Can't get font name: Error opening
file /usr/share/fonts/opentype/cantarell/Cantarell-Regular.otf.dpkg-tmp:
No such file or directory

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBoldOblique.ttf.dpkg-tmp: No such

So then I ran sudo fc-cache -f
Closed Firefox and re-opened it and git.gnome.org looks normal again.
gnome-font-viewer is also working again.
