Then there’s this – which suggested that you right-click on fonts and install them as Administrator “for all users” and that Inkscape won’t work with font managers. And found that my symlink was done correctly, it just didn’t fix the font problem. It suggested using NTFSLinksView and since I’ve trusted Nir Sofer software before I tried it. Thinking that it was possibly that I just created the symlink incorrectly, I searched around and found a SuperUser question: The fix–for me, at least–is to use symlinks. It was subtitled as “Use SkyFonts with InkScape and other font managers” but talked about FontBase and seemed relevant to any font manager (it includes the list SkyFonts, NexusFont, The Font Thing, FontBase, etc.). This was something I found a long time ago, and tried, and it didn’t work. The links below were mostly not helpful except for knowing that other people had the same problem, so I’m including them here just to show that nobody had clearly given a solution. Now when I add a font it is backed up to OneDrive as part of the process. Because last time my hard drive died I lost ALL my fonts back until the last time I had made a copy of my fonts folder. Maybe I’m dull, or maybe you found this post because you have the same problem and that pic above will be your AHA!Īlso note in the image above: I keep my fonts in a OneDrive folder. I have no idea how long the solution has been this simple, but I know I’ve been looking for it for years. I would never have guessed this setting existed – especially since other software uses fonts just fine without it. Maybe I’m dull, but a pic like this one above with the big red arrow would have been worth 1,000 words.

I suspect that this same thing will work for other font manager software. Yes, it is that easy - the trick is knowing that such a thing exists and where it is located. Here’s the simple solution: Look in the Inkscape Preferences menu under Text and in the “Font directories” section, add in the path of the directory that holds your FontBase fonts. Free is a compelling price.īut I need my fonts to work, or it isn’t worth anything!

With the newly released Inkscape 1.0, I felt it was time to try out Inkscape again - I’ve always liked how it was trying to provide all the functionality of CorelDraw (without the huge price tag).

Switching to a font manager solved that and allowed me to access my fonts as needed in software like Affinity Designer, but I couldn’t get them to work in Inkscape. I use way too many fonts to just “install them all into Windows” without having problems. I finally solved how to get FontBase fonts to work with Inkscape - and potentially fonts that are managed with a different font manager.
