hi tavmjong, i saw the awesome work you did on http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/revision/12104
so i thought you would be the guy to request a look at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/168960 (and if possible, https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1064717 as well.. )
i included there a link to how gimp seems to do it.. but i just realized its not quite all there, so i looked up a little more info and found these as well:
http://fossies.org/linux/misc/gimp-2.6.12.tar.gz/dox/fonts-commands_8c_sourc... http://fossies.org/linux/misc/gimp-2.6.12.tar.gz/dox/gimp-fonts_8c_source.ht...
hope this is of some help. it would be a great feature to have for those of us who have fontforge open while working on a huge inkscape project that at times requires a refresh of the font list.
This probably wouldn't be too hard to implement. But I am wondering where in the GUI it would go. The Text/Font toolbar is getting pretty crowded.

yeah it is.. the spot where the "select all" button is located wouldve been the perfect place for the refresh button.. how about something like making the topmost entry in the font list the "refresh fonts" option? maybe centered instead of left aligned, and with the refresh button from gtk (i think thats the icon that gimp uses) flush right? i dont know, something like that? thanks for taking a look at this by the way!
also, i noticed that https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/986936 is partially fixed now: its fixed when an opened file has text, but it isnt when it doesnt.
should i go ahead and assign the bugs to you, tav?
