Hi, you can see debug messages from gnome-font-viewer by running it in the shell with:
$ G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all gnome-font-viewer AmaticSC-Regular.ttf (gnome-font-viewer:20743): Gtk-DEBUG: Connecting to session manager ** (gnome-font-viewer:20743): DEBUG: Install failed: Error opening file '/home/thomas/.local/share/fonts/AmaticSC-Regular.ttf': File exists so the font directory seems to be now under ~/.local/share/fonts/ on a recent gnome system. I post this here for reference. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1104237 Title: font install fails silently To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-font-viewer/+bug/1104237/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
