Hopefully a tutorial on how to deal with fonts that are not detected in Inkscape especially on Windows 10 can be useful for every reader. So, by putting it in the all users directory, the newly installed font will be detected in inkscape. Look for fonts that have been installed previously.įonts that are successfully installed, will be like the image below To test whether this method works or not, try opening inkscape, select the Text > Text and Font menu. Then select Install for all users, wait for the font to be installed in Windows. For example here I want to install the Miama fontĢ. Right-click on the font you want to install. The user or user account that you are using must be an administratorġ. Steps to Overcome Fonts Not Detected in Inkscape Point Requirements: So that the newly installed font is installed in the first directory, we must install it in the all users directory, here’s how.

While the font that just installed will be saved in the directory C: \ Users \ \ AppData \ Local \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Fonts, see the following picture. Windows default fonts and inkscape default fonts are in the C: \ Windows \ Fonts directory, as shown below. This also happens to other editing software namely Gimp, the case is the same, but in Gimp you can still change the font directory in the settings, while inkscape, I haven’t found it yet. This is good if you dont want to install every single font to your system. Now you can set other folders in Preferences (see Tools > Text > Additional font directories). Directory Users > C: \ Users \ \ AppData \ Local \ Microsoft \ Windows \ FontsĪll Users Directory > C: \ Windows \ Fonts Inkscape has always loaded additional fonts from its own share folder (in PCLinuxOS its user/share/inkscape/fonts) and the users configuration folder (/.config/inkscape/fonts).
