How do I configure Inkscape for Windows to see the Type1 fonts I have installed? The GIMP sees them fine (which also uses freetype), as does OpenOffice.org. The font names and corresponding pfb file names even show up in my .fonts.cache-1 file but I still can't see them in Inkscape. Thanks for any answers.

I noticed in the release notes for Inkscape v0.45 that an option to embed fonts works for only Type 1 fonts and not for TrueType so it looks like Type 1 fonts are supposed to work in some context. A bit off-topic, but I noticed that fonts with kerning information don't kern while the user manual indicates that kerning should happen automatically. I tested this with the same font in OpenOffice.org and the font definitely has kerning information, but Inkscape doesn't seem to be using it. Is this another Pango issue?
