Sure. It's in my todo list :)
As a workaround, if you really badly need some fancy font variant, use
FontForge to rename it to a different family name, so you will then be
able to select it as a family, not as variant.
Actually it's not that badly needed yet. Inkscape still is a tool for
sketching out ideas and playing around because it has great
capabilities, but for final work I'm still missing CMYK support. The new
PDF export seems to work quite nicely, however, when I try to open a pdf
document with double click I get:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cannot open file
The filename "test.pdf" indicates that this file is of type "PDF
document". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type
"plain text document". If you open this file, the file might present a
security risk to your system.
Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received
the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the
correct extension for "plain text document", then open the file
normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific
application for the file.

Any clues?
