Is there a graphical way of installing fonts in 11.10/Gnome 3 [duplicate]

How do I install fonts?
When testing 11.10, I wanted to install some fonts. However, it seems that I cannot simply double click a font file to install it. I've tried searching google, but I haven't found anything that says the gnome3 can't do this. Is this going to be addressed? Is there a way I can install new fonts easily? (I know of the manual copying of the fonts to /usr/share/fonts/, but I'm just curious if there is something easier I've been missing.)
Thanks
Solution 1:
Double click on the font, and on the right hand side of the font viewer click on "Install Font".
Alternatively, the manual way is to crate a folder called .fonts in your home directory and save fonts in there.
Also there is this wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts
Solution 2:
You can also create a .fonts folder in your home directory. Then drag the fonts in to the folder. This allows for a mass install of fonts.
Solution 3:
I recently ran in to this problem, all you have to do is install gnome-font-viewer
I think it is not installed by default.
