[TEAM VOTE] Inclusion of gnome-font-viewer package

[Sean Davis]

Hello Team!

Mariusz Kubański (Spass) recently suggested included the gnome-font-viewer
[1] in our default application set.

"I think that *gnome-font-viewer* would be a very nice inclusion. It's very
light & simple, doesn't need any dependencies (that aren't already met in
default Xubuntu) as far as I know.
Why I think it should be included? It's useful to view the fonts that are
already installed on our system, but most important it helps to add a new
font by just a click of a button.
As could be seen on this screenshot: Loading Image..."

After using the application a few times, I am inclined to agree. It
requires little space and no extra dependencies, and provides our users a
simple way to view and install fonts.

Can you please +1/0/-1 this thread for including this package in Xubuntu
17.10 and beyond.

*As with all Team votes - only votes by members of Xubuntu Team [2] will be
counted.*

+1 from me. Seems sensible to have this functionality "built in"
especially as it is so harmless.

Cheers,

Thanks everyone for for casting your vote. With 11 team members, 8 +1's
(and myself), and no concerns from the team, we'll go ahead and move
forward with this. Look forward to seeing this package on the image as
early as tomorrow!
