[Inkscape-user] bold some words issue in OSX

Hi all,

I need to bold some words in a text object. This works fine on Linux & Win, but under OSX (10.4.10 & X11) i can't even have bold in Verdana.

This Wiki FAQ looks related: wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ # 3.10 Inkscape does not see some of the fonts (Mac OSX)

but seems problematic (i use FireFox a lot).

Is there a way to overcome this issue? install some fonts in X11? or maybe compiling inkscape to run without X11?

thanks in advance, iuri
