Bug Description

KFontview is installed because Konqueror or some other KDE apps depend on it.
When in Gnome, the default font viewer is set to KFontview for some reason if it is installed.
KFontview is very slow to load compared to fontfilus.

KFontview should not be the default app when Opening a font file.

There should be a way to choose which fontview is default.

I can't find anything that would make this happen with the KDE font viewer, as there is nothing to set it as default. Does Gnome have a default font viewer? What is fontfilus? Is this by chance still happening for you? In Hardy, this doesn't happen for me at all in Ubuntu when I click on a font file.
