As reported on IRC for current trunk, changing the fill color of a text object which uses a font with spaces in its name, causes parts of the font name (after the first space) to be dropped, resulting in the text either rendered with the fallback font (Sans), or with a similar font if the first part of the name matches an existing different font.
Steps to reproduce:
- create a new text object
- select a font with one or more spaces in the name (e.g. "Arial Narrow")
- change the fill color of the text object
Expected result: only the fill color changes
Actual result: the fill color changes, and the font reverts to 'Arial' (" Narrow" dropped)
Not reproduced with 0.48.2, 0.48+devel r10589, r10627 Reproduced with r10630 and later revisions
Could this possibly be triggered by your commit in r10629? http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/revision/10629
Yes, fixed in r10649
