Public bug reported: Binary package hint: inkscape
By default, InkScape 0.48 r9654 tries to use the BitStream Vera Sans font for the Text tool. But if the font is not installed in the system, an exclamation symbol is shown next to the font and InkScape doesn't allow to change to other font (it always falls back again to BitStream Vera Sans, which is not installed). Installing the package "ttf-bitstream-vera" fixes the problem, so I recommend to add that package to the dependencies of InkScape. ** Affects: inkscape (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/728086 Title: Can't select a font in the Text tool -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
