- of the 38 new families, 16 of them fail silently when used in Inkscape,
and they revert back to the default Sans (the 16 failures include all the .fon fonts and also some fonts that are not recognized by the font viewer 'dp4 Font Viewer 2.0')
I am guessing these are bitmap fonts. Currently Inkscape draws all text as paths and cannot use bitmap fonts. This is because the TextLayout class does not use Pango layouts but instead implements its own layout algorithms and outputs the outlines glyph-by-glyph to the rendering engine.
