Description of problem: Currently fontmatrix expects the end user to import the /usr/share/fonts by hand, it may be optimal to do that by default. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fontmatrix-0.3.0-3.r263.fc8 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fontmatrix and open application 2. Manually need to import the /usr/share/fonts 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: This is an RFE. Other font folders with custom fonts can be manually imported, the default font folder should be automagically imported
Progress on this bug => I contacted upstream and upstream author is not willing to do this change with fear that /usr/share/fonts are system fonts and end user should not play/edit with it. Will going to discuss this on fontmatrix users mailing list.

The other alternative is to default import/load ~/.fonts or whatever is the standard and accepted font directory. Leaving the interface blank and then expecting the user to import directories is good for a UseCase where there are additional "user specific fonts" that are custom for that user. The logic applied here is somewhat along the lines of having a Documents folder to save "documents" to and which is predefined. On the other hand, this is technically not a bug but a technicality and RFE. The developer and you have the complete freedom to contradict and reject :)
This RFE is now upstream. Fixed in fontmatrix-0.4.0 in rawhide.
will release F8 update by this weekend.
