Comment 6 for bug 1508928

 Hi Eduard,

I have uninstalled the original Inkscape 0.92.1, installed the same Chinese
fonts that I had uploaded to the forum some time ago (I am the one who
initiated the topic "Cannot add new Chinese fonts in Inkscape" in the
forum) and then opened your file. The Inkscape software can run run
smoothly without crash, so I think you have succeeded the prevent the
problem from happening. When I install the 0.92.1 again, it crashed and
cannot open, just like the 0.91 build. I may need to use FileZilla to
delete the font again if I need to use the 0.92.1 build.

Questions for you:
1. Can I continue to use this build? But I found that it doesn't require
installation and it is a bit slow.

2. Preventing from crashing is good, but I hope you can improve it a step
more to let the software displays the fonts that I added...

Thanks a lot.

Simon
