Wrong font name in EPS for 'regular' style TTF

[Grimreaper11]

Hi,

I am using in an inkscape document a truetype font called MgOpen Moderna.
The File for the 'regular' style is named 'MgOpenModernaRegular.ttf'. Using
it in inkscape is fine, but when I export it as EPS the font gets
substituted by Courier, when the EPS is used.

Ghostscript says:

Can't find (or can't open) font file
/usr/share/ghostscript/8.15/Resource/Font/MgOpenModerna.
Can't find (or can't open) font file MgOpenModerna.
Querying operating system for font files...
Can't find (or can't open) font file
/usr/share/ghostscript/8.15/Resource/Font/MgOpenModerna.
Can't find (or can't open) font file MgOpenModerna.
Didn't find this font on the system!
Substituting font Courier for MgOpenModerna.

The problem seems to be the line

/MgOpenModerna-ISOLatin1 /MgOpenModerna newlatin1font

in the Inkscape-generated EPS. When I substitute it by

/MgOpenModerna-ISOLatin1 /MgOpenModerna-Regular newlatin1font

it works. I assume Inkscape strips the '-regular' from TTF font names, but
it should not. With bold fonts there is no problem, the '-bold' is
preserved.

Fonts in general and font names with spaces are tricky in postscript.
For now the workaround exists to convert text to path before export to PS/EPS.
At least there should be a warning which features are not supported by the exporter.

we need svg and ttf sample files to test it - it might be fixed by the cairo exporter

Here you are.

Same issue as Bug #168456 “PostScript Fonts Name”?

This bug was reported against an older Inkscape version (0.46): EPS/PS output in current versions (0.48, 0.48+devel) is based on cairo and always embeds fonts.

Can you confirm that the issue still occurs in current Inkscape 0.48 or recent development builds?

Marking as fixed by lack of user feedback.
