Description Linlin Yan 2019-10-29 04:42:17 UTC 
After I have installed 'dev-util/desktop-file-utils-0.23' and 'media-gfx/gnome-font-viewer-3.30.0', when I run command 'update-desktop-database', it prompts error as:

```
Error in file "/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.font-viewer.desktop": "font/ttf" is an invalid MIME type ("font" is an unregistered media type)
Error in file "/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.font-viewer.desktop": "font/otf" is an invalid MIME type ("font" is an unregistered media type)
```

Reproducible: Always




Here goes a patch about the exact the same problem:

I hope to merge it into Gentoo main portage repo.

Nothing to do for gnome@ here.
Comment 2 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2019-11-17 12:57:15 UTC 
Looks to be included in 0.24, which has been in ~arch for 3.5 months - time to stabilize?

I confirmed that 'dev-util/desktop-file-utils-0.24' solved the problem.
