I'm now trying to figure out what happened so I don't have to start from scratch with this logo since I can't find the original font used. Upon opening the file I noticed the font that is NOW showing as being used for the logo is LuzSans Book, which is NOT the font I used to create the logo. After that time, I got a new laptop, downloaded the then current version of Inkscape (0.92), uploaded all the fonts from my previous laptop to the current one, and revisited the SVG logo file for additional tweaks. The logo file was saved as an SVG file, as well as JPG and PNG. Unfortunately (see above), Inkscape at the moment is not able to render it and use the default font.Several months ago I created a logo using a free font downloaded from the web (unfortunately I can't remember the name of the font or where I got it. Using a local font I cannot link the SVG file, you have to settle for a screenshot: The SVG file uses a local font and renders well (tested with Firefox 34, Chrome 39 and Internet Explorer 11 under Windows 8.1). The font was copied locally following this url (get from here) and obtaining the download link (conveniently renamed into 'indie_flower.woff'). The render of SVG Fonts is not supported by Firefox or Internet Explorer, and Inkscape Wiki tell us that:Īt the moment, following this tutorial I was able to embed a WOFF font in SVG: We are waiting for libpango to implement proper support of the user-fonts feature. You can design fonts within Inkscape, but using them to render text on the canvas is not yet supported. In 0.47 Release Notes there is a more detailed explanation of the limitations:Īs a SoC 2008 project, JucaBlues implemented initial parsing and rendering of SVG Fonts.

There is a known limitation where the list of glyphs in the dialog are not yet rendered in the selected font, but still in the system font In the current version of Inkscape seems not yet possible to embed SVG fonts (see also here a little example).
