Hello everyone. I would like to know if there is a way or how to go about adding a font in inkscape. I have thousands of fonts due to my embroidery business and would like to do a vinyl cut for a customer of mine. The font I usual is unusual. I have it installed on my mac but it does not open in inkscape. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for the reply. I am not using a pc so it is not that way. I am using a mac and all my fonts have been installed in my font book but do not show up in inkscape.

" Kester Taylor said on 2008-05-28: If you have .46 and you're using 10.4, then your problem is probably identical to what mine was. Here's the solution I found. If you go into Font Book (under applications), you may notice there's several headings the fonts can be under. All Fonts, Computer, User, Classic Mac OS are what I had. When I installed new fonts, for some reason they automatically went into User, but didn't go into Computer. When I opened Inkscape, it only seemed to read the fonts that are under the Computer heading. So what you need to do is, once you've installed the new font, go to wherever it is (All Fonts, User, wherever), and drag it from there into the Computer section. Then close and reopen Inkscape, and it should be there."
