I'm running Inkscape v0.44.1 on Windows 2000. Recently I installed several adobe postscript fonts and Inkscape is not recognizing them. I have Scribus installed on this machine as well and it recognizes all the new postscript fonts. If I run notepad.exe I can see the postscript fonts as well so I'm pretty sure they're installed correctly but I just can't seem to get Inkscape to see them. Any suggestions?
Also by not recognize I mean when I open Inkscape's font selector I don't see the new postscript fonts.
Thanks, Kevin

Inkscape, and more specifically the text layout library "pango" only work with TrueType fonts at the moment. Support for OpenType should be coming eventually, but Type 1 fonts will probably never be supported - The character -> glyph information in TrueType cmap table is absent from Type 1 fonts.
If you go to http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1441767&gro... You will be able to download a patch which will enable OpenType fonts. Type 1 fonts can be losslessly converted to OpenType (With the Adobe Open Type Font Development Kit)
Ishmal: Any thoughts about including a patched binary with inkscape .45?

Cyreve seems to approve it, and he's our main expert on fonts, so I'm voting for including it.
