You should use just "gnome" instead of "gnome2" now.

Like Michel said, it should be in the package. I have it here.

Yes, this is Debian bug #160088: http://bugs.debian.org/160088
and upstream bug #86739: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86739
What we need is either for Takuo to run libtoolize --force in the
debian/rules of gnome-vfs2, or for upstream to update their libtool.

Just run 'gnome-font-properties', say from the Actions->Run dialog.

See the other thread about this; I get this too (although it's more like
20 seconds for me). I haven't tried any of the proposed solutions yet
though.
