: Problem in using font in Inkscape with Nexusfont! I have been trying to use fonts from here using Nexusfont in Inkscape. However, whenever I try to write using any of these fonts, I dont get

@Nickens508

Here's a full working example using a Google font unpacked to C:Fonts:

C:Program FilesInkscapeetcfontsconf.d51-local.conf

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<!-- Load local system customization file -->
<include ignore_missing="yes">local.conf</include>
<dir>C:/Fonts</dir>
</fontconfig>


Tested on Win7 x64, Inkscape 0.92 x64.
Thank you so much @Scribblemacher for digging up that bug report.

As of Inkscape 0.91, this is caused by bug #1416674 .

Based on the comments, there are a few workarounds, depending on where your fonts are stored, such as this one below:


I fixed this by editing Inkscapeetcfontsconf.d51-local.conf by adding d:fonts between and
where d:fonts is my font directory

Changing WINDOWSFONTDIR to d:fonts in Inkscapeetcfontsfonts.conf makes Inkscape to ignore the system fonts (if you want to see only the custom fonts list)


I'm not familiar with Nexusfont, but I'd suspect that it's doing something the C:WindowsFonts that is making system fonts not available to Inkscape, so changing Inkscape to point to wherever the font files are stored as above should probably work.
