Font with missing characters not listed in Inkscape

Postby Pospec » Mon Nov 24, 2008 2:19 am

Hi all, I have a problem with a special TrueType font called SenaKJR. I can't see it in my Inkscape (0.46, Windows XP). Other fonts got installed OK (e.g. Blue Melody). My dediction is: the SenaKJR is not well-formed because I see some "empty slots" (rectangles) in Character Map utility. I can use both fonts in other editors (WordPad, Paintbrush, ...).

Character Maps screenshots: Blue Melody | SenaKJR

Does anybody has an idea?

I think you answered your own question, Pospec. Inkscape is very picky about which fonts will work. This font likely has some incompatibility issues with Inkscape due to flaws in the font itself.

Thank you for your answer. Let me ask another question, just to be sure. If I "repair" the SenaKJR font (remove "flaws") to look like the Blue Melody, should it work? (offtopic: I hope that I'll find some good tool which can do this repair)
