it is indeed a problem in the way Pango (the lib Inkscape uses to manage fonts) handles .dfont (and some .suit) fonts. The only solution I found is to converter everything to individual ttf files (like Times.dfont becomes TimesRegular.ttf, TimesItalic.ttf and so on) with fondu or/and fontforge (both are available via Fink, DarwinPorts or with standalone installers). Beware though:
- you'll end up with duplicated fonts, you need to suppress or
disable one version (the dfont one a priori)
- do not disable system fonts (if you need system fonts in TTF for
X11 apps, put them in an X11 specific directory, such as ~/.fonts)
- this can cause problems with Firefox which mozilla guys do not seem
ready to solve soon because the problem seems unconsistent in its appearance
