Firstly thanks to Daniel and Michael for the tip about msttcorefonts.
Ill be doing that tonight then, but it still doesnt explain what is up
with gnome-font-viewer. I submitted a bug yesterday and will wait and
see.
Also I noticed tha twhen copying fonts to the fonts:/// directory - no
visual update occurs at all even though the fonts are installed fine.
After digging arround on google I found that this is an upstream bug
and is being worked on...

As for the feaure of including ubuntu-users in the reply to field. I
think it is a great idea and saves messing arround altering it every
time I post.
