How to Install Fonts in Ubuntu 8.04

Posted by suvi under Desktop, Ubuntu

Due to GVFS replacing GNOME-VFS in the GNOME desktop environment, in Ubuntu 8.04 my preferred way of installing fonts doesn’t work anymore. In GNOME versions prior to 2.22 you could navigate to fonts:// in the file browser and drag and drop to install fonts. Doing this in Ubuntu 8.04 gives the error:
Nautilus cannot handle fonts: locations

You can still drag and drop to install fonts using a different folder: .fonts in your home folder.
