Bug Description
Hi,
I am using in an inkscape document a truetype font called MgOpen Moderna.
The File for the 'regular' style is named 'MgOpenModernaR
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/
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/
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-
in the Inkscape-generated EPS. When I substitute it by
/MgOpenModerna-
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.
