Missing fonts in Inkscape/Windows
Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2009 3:20 pm
I found this today when I was looking for something else. I couldn't find the previous posts on missing fonts, so I'm just putting it in a new post. This is from the Inkscape FAQ.
"[edit] Inkscape does not see some of the fonts (Windows)
This was a bug in versions of Inkscape up to 0.43, caused by using an obsolete font cache. This cache is stored in the file called .fonts.cache-1. This file may be in your Windows folder, or in your Temp folder, or in "My documents" folder, or in the folder listed in the $HOME environment variable. Use file search by name to locate this file. Then simply delete this file and restart Inkscape; now it will see the new fonts.
If you are using 0.44 or 0.45 then OpenType/PostScript and Type1 fonts are not supported (this is a side-effect of the method used to fix the previous bug).
This issues with OpenType/PostScript and Type 1 fonts have been fixed in Inkscape 0.46. "
Here is the link to the page I copied this from. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php ... Windows.29
