Verdana font not displaying in Inkscape?

Postby pixabella » Sun Dec 16, 2007 2:16 am

Hi everyone,

I am a Mac OS X user and I am running the 30th Nov dev ver. I am having problems with Inkscape not displaying the Verdana font in the font drop down box. The other alternative would be to use Geneva as it is recommended as the alternative font for Mac Users.

However, Verdana also comes as a pre-installed font when you buy the Mac. Inkscape should be able to read and open this file as it is a True Type font.

Could anyone give me any advise as to why this is a problem and suggest a work around?

Cheers

If you're using dev-build go to developers and report this bug.
