KDE has had icon thumbnails of font files for some time, and the last i heard 
on kde-core-devel regarding the font installer, which works pretty well as it 
is, was that craig drummond was busy writing an ioslave version of it so that 
you can get to it from konqueror or any other appropriate app. this includes 
keeping the control panel which then simply becomes a front end to the 
ioslave (allowing it to simplify quite a bit, it seems)...

it's a bad idea to only have access to it from the file manager because that 
requires special knowledge. there should be an icon SOMEwhere for it that 
users can easily find. that means putting it somewhere they'll look. like the 
configuration area.

i'm glad to see GNOME doing better in the world of ease of use and catching up 
with some of KDE's tricks... that helps keep their users happy and satisfied.
