The font Steelfish (TTF; see attachement) worked perfectly in inkscape version 0.48.
In the new version 0.91 however, this font is not recognized anymore.

Can you elaborate about the issue you're seeing on Windows and include what version of Windows you're using? In terms of it not being recognized anymore are you by any chance using a font manager to try and load it?

I tried to use the font in Inkscape 0.91 and current trunk and it shows 2/3 variants, however the following output seems to indicate why only 2/3 are available on my end "Warning: Font face with same CSS values already added: Steelfish Normal (Regular, Outline)".

Note: It's the outline and the italic variants which are available to me.

Same on OS X with 0.91 and current trunk (r14562) - note that which font style(s) are available depends on the file name of the font, and how they are sorted (probably based on the system's locale settings), i.e. whether or not the outline version is listed before the regular one.

Changing bug status to 'Incomplete':
1) Feedback about how the font was installed is required to further triage the report.
2) Please also add details about Windows version and about the installer used for Inkscape 0.91 (32bit or 64bit) to the bug description, thank you.
