I'm affected by this bug too, running gnome-font-viewer (as root or not) from the CLI gives the same error message but with ":3660".
Also, the article listed in #2 basically tells us to do this: 1: Copy fonts to /usr/share/fonts (or ~/.fonts for user-only availability, no need for root privilages.) 2: Change ownership of the fonts to root (:root, group should be changed too, wasn't); or if you copied to ~/.fonts, you should probably change permissions to allow reads from anyone. (chmod -R a+r ~/.fonts) 3: Run fc-cache. By my understanding, this updates the cached list of fonts available. Guess that's manual alright.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1104237 Title: font install fails silently To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-font-viewer/+bug/1104237/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
