After having updated from FC2 to FC3 and having done approx. 250 downloads (and spending a couple of days) to fix the broken dependencies, I'm now more happy. Menues shows danish characters properly (except for one) and most things work :)

The only thing still not working is the Font Viewer. When I try to open a font in Nautilus, I keep getting the message that the file couldn't be showed. And yes, I'm using Gnome.

Where do I fix this problem? Since I spend a lot of time on creating fonts it would be nice to see what they look like, without having to start FontForge every single time. Or even worse: installing an unfinished font to see what it looks like in abiword or openoffice - that's a lot of work when it has to be done constantly :(

Kind Regards
