I posted this on the forum, It seems that most of the time I have issues, it is because the fonts are restricted for personal use. I have had a problem with other fonts also. But one recently called Vindica gave me the issue that My Microsoft Word could see the font but Inkscape didn't. For some reason GIMP doesn't have this problem as much. Usually, if Word sees it, GIMP will also. One way I have found to solve this is to go into the font properties under security tab and reset the permissions on the ALL APPLICATIONS PACKAGES. I have actually done this a few times with success. But the Exodus will not respond to anything I have tried. I believe this is because of some kind of permissions coding. Also the free Personal Use version of Exodus restricts you to only letters, no characters...ie, !@#$%^&*()_+? Things like this. You have to buy the full version as you do with many other free personal use fonts. Go into: C>Windows>Fonts...scroll down to the font... Right click on the font in question, go to Properties, Security tab, EDIT, then highlight any of the groups or names that it lets you be able to make changes to and click the check box Full Control and save. But some fonts still will not even let you access the permissions. I guess we just have to think out of the box sometimes. Like I said before, my work around for Exodus was type into Word...or in your case I think typing into Libre Writer...then pasting it into Inkscape and go from there. See my screenshot for the font permissions. [image: font permissions.JPG]

Dear rdmatey,
A post has been edited on the topic "Installed Fonts Do Not Appear" by Sreekar Guddeti:
rdmateyI pretty much tried everything from installing the fonts for all users to actually going into the font properties and changing the permissions to full access on all users and access to all programsThis behavior is interesting. Can you check if this happens with other fonts? I tried to replicate the issue by downloading the Exodus font from Dafont. I also had issues detecting the non regular versions of the font. My inkscape version is `1.0 (4035a4fb49, 2020-05-01)`. The CSS of the font is not detected properly in Inkscape Text Tool (Shift + Ctrl + T) as shown in img1. However, the fonts are detected in Libre Writer as shown in img2. [img1][img2]
