Yes, I mainly used the text tool controls bar because I needed repeatedly only basic text attributes (name, size, color). The 'bold' button works for me but not with all fonts, 'italic' works only to toggle it off after applying an italic/oblique style in the font dialog.
That's a different issue. Some fonts do not have a bold variant and it cannot easily be faked. I think the italique one is faked as oblique for all of them. This is different from the text and font dialog where you can select the exact variant you want in a list. IMHO there is still a bug in the font dialog that presents you with a Bold/Italic variant for fonts that don't have one. I guess that has to do with what information can be accessed by Pango.
Overall, the state of text-related stuff in Inkscape is unfortunately pretty poor.
btw - the build date of the dev builds (osx, modevia) in the about screen didn't update (last three builds all show 'built Jun 10 2009' on my system)
Oh that's a problem. That might mean that the same executable is actually used in all of them. Does someone knows where this date comes from? I just did: svn up, configure, make, make install and package + distribute. Maybe I need to redo autoconf too, or make clean before each build (but that kind of defeats the purpose of a having makefile). I'll rebuild one tonight or tomorrow from scratch.
