Issues with Type 1 fonts (Inkscape .91, Windows 7 64-bit)

Postby TheSchwami » Fri Mar 27, 2015 3:52 am

Hi all,

I use a set of Type 1 fonts that worked well in Inkscape .48.5, but no longer work in .91. I get the yellow exclamation mark and "Font not found on system" message.

These fonts are installed in the C:\Windows\Fonts directory. I verified this both in Windows Explorer and by running "dir c:\Windows\Fonts" from the command line. Both the .pfm and .pfb files were listed.

Any ideas on how to get these fonts working?
