Case sensitive font selection field
Hi,
I posted this a couple of weeks before but never got a reply... So I'm reposting it once again:
While working with some text in Inkscape, I found an unpleasant behaviour of the text selection field (the field above the font selection drop down menu): it is case sensitive. When I type "Arial" in it and hit enter, the selected text's font is changed to arial as it should. But if I type "arial" or "ARIAL", then I get a warning that the font is not found/installed.
The expected behaviour is that no matter what case I enter in (like aRiaL) it must find the font I'm looking for (this is the behaviour of Illustrator, Indesign, Corel, Photoshop, Openoffice and many other programs).
Although it is not a real bug, it is IMO a usability issue. By the way, I'm on Windows XP sp2. Is it the same on Linux? Mac? And should I fill a feature request or a bug report?
Thanks! Molumen

Please file a RFE on that - hopefully one day it will be fixed by someone :)

[ 1818885 ] Case sensitive font selection
I filled it as a bug with low priority (UI group, all platforms), because the present behaviour can create problems to new users.
