Hi, a debian user reported that he needed to close Terminal (and thus all Terminal windows) before newly installed fonts would appear in its settings window. He first assigned the bug to libvte, but it was reassign because it's not really possible to monitor new fonts from each and every application. In GNOME it works because gnome-settings-daemon monitors that and signals it to running applications. So I'm reporting this against xfce4-settings in case that could be added. I'm not really convinced it's that useful but users might find it convenient. Cheers (and thanks),
The code for that is here [http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/tree/plugins/xsettings/fontconfig-monitor.c], but I don't find this very important.

It's not that it's “very important” (thus the “importance: low” in the bug report) it's just that it's nice to see fonts available in apps when installing them. It's especially true for Terminal because of the “one process for all” feature.
Merged in the xsettings rewrite.
