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.

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? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Font-selection-broken-on-windows-tp23737103p2373982...

yes, the text is selected. But when I change the font in the dropdown, it has no effect on the text at all, the selected font is not applied to the text at all... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alvin Penner" <penner@...1856...> To: <inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net&gt; Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 12:25 PM Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] Font selection broken on windows > > > Mourad Mokrane wrote: >> >> the font selection dropdown doesn't work on windows, at least in >> Inkscape21345-0905140303 on Windows Vista.

I added the font Bitstream Vera Sans (or all of the Bitstream fonts) to my OS (Ubuntu and Windows), restarted Inkscape and all my problems went away. After that I was able to select fonts from the drop down again in 0.46. heathenx

Hm, it works! at least for me. I install only one font from archive on my machine - vera.ttf - and voila - it works like a charm!. Thanks for solution! Thomas - maybe you should try again? ;)

Thomas - maybe you should try again? ;) Well, it's not actually bothering me at the moment and I think the main thing is that it points up that something somewhere is going awry if one has to install a specific font to make the drop down work. I really just wanted to point up the fact that it wasn't just a Windows issue. -- Thomas Worthington Tech Nouveau 32 Bangor Road Groomsport BT19 6JF 07748 792333 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
