Is it possible to force Inkscape to use a certain font as the default in the Text tool?
My install seems to have defaulted recently to "IM Fell Flowers" which is a handsome decorative set of woodcut flowers and other printer's decorations, but not something useful on a day to day basis. Former it used something basic and readable like Liberation Sans.
I've had a quick rummage through the various Preferences windows and the documentation, and can't find anything relevant.
Inkscape 0.48.x on Ubuntu, if that matters.
Open 'Text > Text and Font…', select the font you want to use as new default, and click on the 'Set as default' button in the lower left corner of the dialog.
