From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021023 Description of problem: After adding new fonts to ~/.fonts, I find that Nautilus does not pick up the new font as selected in Preferences->Fonts until I 'killall nautilus' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a new font to ~/.fonts 2. Change the desktop font in Preferences->Font to the new font Actual Results: Nautilus reverts to standard font Expected Results: Nautilus uses the new font to render the desktop Additional info: Nautilus only checks the list of fonts on startup? Perhaps it can be patched so if it's told to use a font it does not know about, it rebuilds its font cache?
Really hard to fix; hopefully we'll get to it someday, but I don't see leaving a bug open for it... it's one of those general improvements that we won't forget about.
