Hm, it works! at least for me. I install only one font from archive on my machine - vera.ttf - and voila - it works like a charm!. Thanks for solution! Thomas - maybe you should try again? ;)

Actually, I have the same problem in Linux (ver 21439); I generally type text and then modify it with the Text Dialogue so I don't know when this started, but currently the font dropdown does nothing. Additionally, it does not go away when a font is clicked or double clicked, I have to click away from the menu to get rid of it. The font size dropdown works fine.

I had a similar problem a while back. I added the font Bitstream Vera Sans (or all of the Bitstream fonts) to my OS (Ubuntu and Windows), restarted Inkscape and all my problems went away. After that I was able to select fonts from the drop down again in 0.46.

Thanks, but I've had the Bitstream fonts installed for some time, so that's not it.
