You have been subscribed to a public bug: KFontview is installed because Konqueror or some other KDE apps depend on it. When in Gnome, the default font viewer is set to KFontview for some reason if it is installed. KFontview is very slow to load compared to fontfilus.
KFontview should not be the default app when Opening a font file. There should be a way to choose which fontview is default. ** Affects: kubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- wrong fontviewer is used by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85734 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
