Inkscape does not see any new installed font.
Installed inkscape 0.92 (snap packadge)
It works and recognise all default fonts of ubuntu 16.10
Installed new font with font manager (Roboto ttf font family)
Restarted inkscape and system. Inkscape does not "see" new font.
Installed roboto font by copying directly to the usr/share/fonts/ folder. Refreshed font cache. Restarted system. Inkscape still does not see new font.
I've tried with couple of different fonts, and the situation is the same. New fonts appearing in LibreOffice for example.
If anyone can help would be great.

Re: Inkscape 0.92 and ubuntu 16.10 font not recognised
Hi ktwist,
this could be a known issue with snap packages for Ubuntu. They do only find fonts that you put into the .fonts directory in your home directory.
