: DejaVu Sans Condensed not showing up in Inkscape, despite installed My system came with DejaVu Sans and DejaVu Sans Condensed installed by default. PROBLEM: Inkscape only shows DejaVu Sans. Do

@Eichhorn212

The Inkscape text toolbar only allows you to select the font family and size, and to toggle bold and italic type, but it doesn't include any way to select a specific font variant. This has actually been reported as a bug in Inkscape, and should be fixed in the next version (0.49).

In order to select a specific font variant in current versions of Inkscape, you need to open the Text and Font dialog, either via the Text menu or by pressing Shift+Ctrl+T. This will open a floating dialog window that looks like this:



Note that this dialog is currently not dockable, although that should also be fixed in Inkscape 0.49.

Go to your fonts folder and manually remove it - then download a fresh version from Font Squirrel (links below as well as some other styles from the family - well worth grabbing.)

DejaVu Sans

DejaVu Sans Mono

DejaVu Serif

Then try installing these (close inkscape before you install just to be safe)
