Hi people

iuse inkscape for grafik-design, it's a really nice programm, but now i have a big problem, which i try to explain
(please excuse my very bad english):

A few months ago i made a flyer, and used a very special font for the text, which name i don't know now. Meanwhile i have set up a new operating system on my pc, in the font-order ther are just standard-fonts.

Know i want to edit the flyer, open it with inkscape (old version, with which i built it).
Inkscape know takes a standard-font for my text (something like arial but the font menue shows "sans"). It doesn't brings a declaration like "Missing font XXX" so that i can install the font!



With the standard font the whle text doesnt fit anymore, i can't work this way!
I need to know the name of the original font.

Is there any posibility, to get it?

Thank you very much for helping!

Kind regards,
Florian

The name of the font should be in the SVG file. Open it in a text editor, and search for "font-family" (there will probably be several occurrences, one for each bit of text). Alternatively, you can use the XML editor in Inkscape: select the text, open the XML editor, and look for font-family in the 'style' attribute.

Open the file in Inkscape.
In the XML Editor, look for a line like this:

-inkscape-font-specification:arial;font-family:arial

Agree, you can even open the SVG in a plain text editor, and look for the name of the font in the aforementioned places. When you find the name, see if you can find that font online so you can install it on your system, and your problem will be magically fixed next time you open that file in Inkscape.

Speaking of which, what OS did you upgrade to?

Judging from the colors of the titlebar, that still seems to be Windows (unless you came from something that wasn't Windows, or simply transferred over to a new Windows install...).
