Font named 8514oem display's but can't be selected

Postby Grobe » Fri Jan 06, 2012 10:55 am

Hi.

Os: Win XP sp2 32bit, norwegian
Inkscape 0.48+devel r10817

When I select certain fonts in the dropdown list, then font (that is selected) just resets to Serif.

Known bug?

I beleive that there is listed more fonts in the dropdown box than those that is actually ment for being used.

Thanks

Yes, I believe it's a known bug. If there are numbers or special characters in the font's name....and I think it's restricted to non-English installations, the font....either it doesn't work, or won't be displayed in the list. I'm pretty sure ~suv has answered this in another topic, or maybe 2 (which is why I remember it, and which is why I mention in case you want to search out further info).
