Bug Description
Hi,
Recently I have problems with using OpenType fonts like Helvetica Neue and Museo Sans Rounded. When I try to change the font for one of those OTF fonts, I get a empty preview box in the Text and Fonts dialog, and then when I apply the font, I get a empty selection that looks like a horizontal line.
Some time ago I were working with the above fonts to make the logo of my website and it were working well.
Thanks for your consideration in this bug.
Regards
Update: I'm using Windows 7 64 bit and Inkscape 0.48.2

Based on the tag 'win32' added by the reporter (no information about the OS provided otherwise):
This is not an Inkscape bug - a recent security update for Windows (all versions) broke certain types of fonts in many graphical applications (not only Inkscape is affected [1]). Microsoft by now has acknowledged the issue:
«Known issues with this security update
We are aware of issues related to OpenType Font (OTF) rendering in applications such as PowerPoint on affected versions of Windows that occur after this security update is applied. We are currently investigating these issues and will take appropriate action to address the known issues. » support. microsoft. com/kb/ 2753842>

Setting bug status to 'Triaged' for now, since it's likely that other duplicate reports will be filed until Microsoft publishes a proper fix.
