fontilus is a vfs module for nautilus, it uses some gnomevfs functions,
but the stats of the files, open action, etc are fontilus functions.

For more details see :
control-center-2.4.0/vfs-methods/fontilus/font-method.c

particularly the do_get_file_info(), do_read() and do_open() functions.

You should look on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 dir. Properties of
files in the fonts:/// view show this dir as base point.


I've talken of that with Christophe Fergeau who is one of the gnomevfs
devels, and he also think this bug is probably not a gnomevfs one, but a
fontilus one.

If you're not sure of that you can also test symlinks in an another vfs
method (ie ftp://), it works fine and it uses the same gnomevfs.

I'm reassigning this bug to the control-center.
