Themus removed from build

Hi,
I've removed the themus vfs-method from the control center build although it's still available in SVN for the moment. Since there was no way of discovering the themus:// method I suspect no one was using it. Also, with the introduction of gio/gvfs I think these methods are no longer supported anyway.

The fonts:// mechanism won't be used, but there are some other interesting things in fontilus, such as the font thumbnailer and the context menu plugin. We could just remove the vfs method, although it seems rather an odd thing to have in control-center anyway.

I would agree that it's useful, but as far as I know just opening ~/.fonts has pretty much the same result.

Yes, hence "pretty much" the same, but it allows you to add and remove fonts. Do we need a separate font manager application? A quick search on the web doesn't really bring up any suitable font manager applications for GNOME...

They can always come later though. Cheeri, Calum. [1] See <http://maczealots.com/tutorials/fonts/#management> for a description of the font manager that's built into OS X, and <http://www.linotype.com/2629/fontexplorerxfeatures.html > and <http://www.extensis.com/en/products/font_management/whats_new.jsp?id=1060 > for the sort of features people pay good money for :) -- CALUM BENSON, Usability Engineer Sun Microsystems Ireland mailto:calum.benson@...
