Hmm, this is getting stranger and stranger. Despite the warning from pfaedit, the old one did work ok for me on both Linux and Windows;

On linux, that may be caused by different verions of fontconfig, freetype, or something else. But I didn't test that font on windows.

...

Can you provide another example of a valid font which Inkscape sees on one platform but does not see on another?

I'll try to find one when I get back to Windows next week.

OK

I never thought about it, because I always edit text using Text and Fonts. However, if Text and Fonts is going away, this definitely would be useful (or perhaps "must be done" if we don't want to lose existing functionality).

OK, I will look into incorporating that patch. Another related question: Can you please test the status this bug:

Is this still a problem with the latest CVS? If yes, can you provide any additional pointers or information? What to look for to have that fixed?
