Hi, Is there currently in Inkscape a way to specify exact fonts, like  specific font files? If I understand right, would this mean support of  "user fonts" as specified by CSS3 Fonts?

Not yet. That is a long term goal of mine.

I've been working on using color fonts made from font layers (where each  color layer is a different font file), but the layer fonts I can find  all specify family names and styles in such a way that it seems  impossible to specify them in Inkscape.

For the moment, you'll need to use a hack like giving them unique family names: MyFontColor1, MyFontColor2, etc.

Is there any planned native support for color fonts, either manually  layered, or opentype svg/colr/cpal color fonts?

Not yet. It isn't too difficult once we support user fonts... we use Pango to position the glyphs and then extract out the SVG part from the OpenType file and render that.
