Bug Description

[Tested on windows and inkscape 0.48. I can test it on linux if you want]

I am using Dingbat fonts (TTF) massively. and it happens very often that I install the fonts I want and they don't appear in the list of fonts even after restarting inkscape. I am not sure if many Dingbat font use a certain format not supported or harder to support by inkscape. BUt it is very annoying because most dingbat fonts are unique. You need a certain picture in particular that cannot be found elsewhere.

I have included with this post a zip file with 3 dingbat fonts that does not appear in inkscape's font list but that works in other software.

Thank You
