[Inkscape-user] How To Install Type 1 Fonts on Linux Debian/Ubuntu?

Dear All,

I am a new list member (although long-time Inkscape user), please accept my apologies if this question has been asked and answered in some place that I can't find or am unaware off.

All the fonts I can see listed in my Inkscape installation are TTF.

I have Type 1 fonts on my system and would like to use them in Inkscape, e.g. for embedding.

I've read that there are problems with this on Windows and OSX, is this true for Linux also?

If not, can anyone suggest a method I can follow?

I'm no stranger to the command line and I've previously learnt more about Debian/Ubuntu font management that I ever wanted to ;-)

Dave
