Bug#636925: in nautilus opening fonts:// does not give the font directory

[shirish शिरीष]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.30.1-3
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Hi all,
 I wanted to install some ad-hoc fonts and tried following the guide
given at http://wiki.debian.org/Fonts

In it, it says :-

To add fonts on an ad hoc basis, you may install them in GNOME by
opening a Nautilus window to fonts:// and dragging and dropping.

I tried accessing nautilus both in user and su mode and trying to go
to location via Go> location (or CTRL+L) and put fonts there. I got
the error, Could not display fonts:// Nautilus cannot handle ''fonts''
locations.

Even when I do a $gksudo nautilus and do fonts:// I got the following error :-

Could not find "/home/shirish/fonts:".Please check the spelling and try again.
