the font selection dropdown doesn't work on windows, at least in Inkscape21345-0905140303 on Windows Vista. When the dropdown is opened, an inkscape.exe task appears on the taskbar as if the process was running outside of the Inkscape main window. Selecting fonts has no effect on the typed text.
hmm, I'm running the same version on Windows XP. I can confirm the additional task in the task bar, which is very strange. The new task is called Inkscape.exe in the Task Manager. However, my text is responding appropriately when I change the font. The problem I have is that the font name in the dropdown box reverts back to the previous value, but the text on the screen behaves as expected.
Is your text highlighted or selected when you change the font?
