Font installer
Description:
Install True Type Font files (.ttf) in Gnome directly from Nautilus.
Due to GVFS in Gnome 2.22 there were some minor regressions, especially the lack of support for the fonts:// URL.
This script aims to make font installation really simple just using the context menu in Nautilus.
Configuration file:
fontinstaller.schemas
Additional files:
fontinstaller.sh
Dependencies:
zenity - for the pop-up box display after the font installation proccess is complete.
Installation notes:
Copy the script fontinstaller.sh to /usr/local/bin, ~/bin or any other directory of your liking.
Make the script executable.
Import fontinstaller.schemas using the Nautilus Actions Configuration tool or create a new action.
If necessary change the "Path" field in the NAC tool to match the directory of the script.
If you choose to create a new action in NACT, use the following parameters:
Menu Item & Action
