I notice it with VIner Hand ITC as well. The font color, size, and opacity are all correct, and if I switch to another font it looks fine. I tried reinstalling the Tempus font but that didn't change anything.

Hey inkscapers,

Whenever I type with Tempus Sans ITC font, no letters appear in the box, even though in the "Text and Font..." editor I can see the preview just fine.

What gives?

Thanks!!
