Description Thomas Mitterfellner 2010-11-05 18:24:57 UTC

Version:           1.0 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

When installing fonts system-wide (e.g. moving personal fonts to system fonts) using the ordinary user system configuration, the root password has to be entered for each and every font file newly. This is very inconvenient. There should be a means to enter this password only once per fontinstaller session.

Reproducible: Always




OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop
