Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome

Gnome lacks a tool to manage fonts the way you can in KDE or in OS X. It
is very hard to work with a large number of fonts if you cannot enable
or disable them when needed. For instance I have just had to uninstall a
load of novelty fonts because they were bloating the Abiword font menu
to an unmanageable size.

What you should be able to do is to enable or disable fonts both as root
(for all users) and as an ordinary user. You should be able to do this
both for individual fonts and for user-defined categories.

** Affects: meta-gnome2 (Ubuntu)
