From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: After a fresh install of FC3, double-clicking on a font in the fonts:/// view results in an error message dialog. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.8.1-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora Core 3 2. In nautilus, hit Ctrl-L and type fonts:/// 3. Double click any icon Actual Results: I get an error dialog of the form: Can't Display Location Couldn't display "fonts:///Bitstream%20Vera%20Sans". Expected Results: 1) There should be a default association to gnome-font-viewer so that a font preview is displayed. 2) Even in the absence of that, it should prompt me as to what application I would like to use rather than just giving the error message. Additional info:
gnome-font-viewer is in control-center. It needs to have the font mimetypes in its desktop file. I agree that the error message is a bit bad though, but you can open it with "open with other application...".
This bug has been fixed in Fedora Core 4.
