Bug Description

When I select a font, which has a number with a leading 0 in it (for example "Squarodynamic 08"), this font is not used. Instead, Inkscape tries to use a font without the leading 0 ("Squarodynamic 8"), which doesn't exist. This behaviour does not change whether I type the name of the font or whether I select it from the list. In contrast, the font "Squarodynamic 10" works. All "Squarodynamic" fonts work perfectly in other applications.

In fact there are even more bugs that concern parsing of font names.
I use Inkscape Inkscape 0.46, built Apr 7 2008.

I have this problem with many fonts that have leading zeros in their names. One such attached.

I had thought I had this problem with fonts with any number in their name, but will need to check that out.

Ubuntu 8.10 x64

Inkscape 0.46 build October 24 2008.

Same issue reported in bug #191653 for font named "Supertext 03 Bold" (leading zero is dropped by inkscape (current trunk r12170), and the font no longer found).
