Hi

I am currently working on a number of projects which require me to reuse the same fonts over and over. At present I am having to keep scrolling through the fonts but would like to create a group if possible so I can access them easily. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Alan,
if you're using Inkscape 0.91 or higher, the fonts you have recently used in your document are already in a list at the top of the Text+Font dialog and the text tool's font dropdown (which annoys the hell out of me, because when I want to browse for fonts, I'm always thrown back to the top of the list...).

Is this what you need?

I'll have to check on that Moini. I was trying to use that feature the other day, and a font that I had just used was not at the top. I didn't look into it at the time, because I didn't have time. But there's a chance it might not work properly, everywhere. Although if it's working, sounds like a pretty good solution to me.

Depending on which kind of operating systems you're using, a font manager might be able to help. I can't remember which system, but I think Macs, have a setup which allows only certain fonts to show up in the Inkscape font menu. Although I have to say I don't remember many details. Likely I saw this info in this forum, so a good search might find it.

Otherwise we might be able to suggest certain workflow routines that can make this less tedious. What is your current workflow?

On my win machine with 0.92, the dropdown font list opens at the place of the selected text and the most-recent list is at the top... just hitting the Home key takes me to the top and most-recent list.

Many thanks will give it a try

Alan
