Font missing

Postby Bookfinder » Sat Oct 27, 2018 5:53 am

Hi,

i have added the google font Rajdhani https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Rajdhani to windows 10 and it works in several programs such as Word, however it does not show up in Inkscape at all. I cannot select it.

It's here in the fonts folder of windows, inkscape has also its own fonts folder where i added it just in case, all fonts family script and range has been selected in inkscape, i have tried reinstalling both the font and inkscape, all to no avail.

Can someone help me get this font working please?

Thank you.

If Inkscape was open when you installed the font, you'll need to close Inkscape (all instances) and re-open, to be able to see the font.

If you've already done that....hhmm.... It could be the font is not well made. In my experience, Inkscape can be picky about fonts.

Well, I've been able to install it on Windows 7, and Inkscape is using it, no problem.

Maybe you just didn't know that you had to re-open Inkscape? Let us know if you still can't see it.
