Hi Jiho,
Thanks for the update, it's helpful to know about the Firefox bug...!
In the meantime, I have a fix: when breaking the suitcase, I now have renamed the fonts so that they have different names. So Arial, for example, will now be 'Arial-ttf', 'Arial-bold-ttf', 'Arial-italic-ttf', and 'Arial-bolditalic-ttf'. This way there is absolutely no substitution and interference when font calling.
So far it works...!

Arrgh, I just encountered a new problem: by creating the new TTFs and turning them on with FontBook, now my other apps, like Firefox, is rendering my fonts in a weird way...!
what do you see exactly? I have a problem with Firefox too where bold text is overlapping with adjacent text or the underline of an underlined text does not go all the way under the text. Is this the same problem.
Is there a fix for this? Or, do I sit tight for the next version? :'(
If your problem is similar to mine, it is a known issue with Firefox on OS X and seems to appear when some fonts are duplicated (but the issue seems quite complicated and can arise in several contexts). It has been reported already several times on the bugzilla of Firefox but has not received much attention yet. I thinks it's because:
- developers think it is a marginal problem
- developers cannot reproduce it reliably (as I mentioned above the
problem seems complicated) You can add you experience to this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288047 to get things moving a bit. But I guess meanwhile you will have to choose between Firefox and Inkscape. NB: a workaround I've used in Firefox is to use Lucida Grande which does not create any problem and to force it's use (do not check the "Allow site to choose their own fonts" check button). But know I switched to safari, mainly because of this problem.
If you want to discuss this further I think we should do it personally or via Mozilla bugsystem rather than here.
