Hey Thomas!

It's a known problem and I'm sure there is a bug about it (because if there hasn't been, I have reported it). Point is that as for now Inkscape only supports the standard tags as you know them from html, such as bold and italic. Unfortunately I do not know about a work around.

Take care!

David

PS: In case I'm wrong, please somebody correct me :) it's just what I remember from when I asked that question myself.

Hi, everyone.

If I select some text and open the Text & Font dialogue I can select

Helvetica Normal no problem, however if I select Helvetica Black, Narrow, or Ultra <anything>, I just get Normal.

Similar things happen in Gill Sans, Futura, Frutiger etc.

If I try to edit the xml to show any of these varients the xml editor replaces them with "normal".

Anyone know why?
