I never had this problem personally because I’ve always been the sole user on my Windows machines. Thanks to a tip I received from a student of my Inkscape Master Class, apparently Inkscape won’t recognize a font that’s only installed for one Windows user - it has to be installed for all users. In order for your newly installed font to populate in Inkscape, you have to close out of the application and reopen it. When you import certain file formats, Inkscape may open a dialog asking you to specify import options for. Third-party Inkscape extensions can be used to import additional file formats. The availability of some import file formats depends on other programs installed on your computer. The reason why your Inkscape fonts are missing could be because you haven’t restarted the Inkscape application since installing them. Inkscape can import and open a large variety of file formats. This is thanks to a recent Windows update. Click on Font Bundles to select the text. I typed out Font Bundles using the Crisp Leaves font. Choose your font and type out any word or phrase you want. Quick Fix: Inkscape Fonts are Missing If your fonts are populating in other applications but not Inkscape, it’s most likely because the font needs to be installed for all users. Step 1 - Add text and change to a path Start by clicking on the text tool in the left toolbar. Whenever you want to use a font in Inkscape, you have to install it on your operating system first, then Inkscape should catalog it next time you launch it. I made a tutorial for this a while back that you can watch here. Before we get started, first make sure that you do indeed have your fonts installed on your system.
