I've had the same problem with Inkscape in windows. Some truetype fonts aren't detected. The explanation I was given at the time was that Inkscape is very picky about fonts and low quality fonts that don't completely conform to the font specification get ignored. That didn't explain why I could use the same fonts in Linux, though.

Thanks for the advice, though it didn't help much. The FAQ writes about
a similar issue, but it is supposed to be solved in 0.48.
Izirajder writes about installing fonts in Windoze, but it doesn't help
me, because these fonts have already been installed.

These fonts are true type, so they should be fully supported.

Anyone knows something more?
