Comment 6 for bug 1709729

The issue with fonts with special characters in family name was fixed in Inkscape 0.92.2 (see bug #1508928), so this should not be an issue anymore.

> inkscape Dies with voluminous error messages to the console (attached).

Is this the full output? It seems therem ight be missing something from the start (which could be due to the limited text buffer of the console window)
You can write all console output to a file using
  "inkscape 1> output_stdout.txt 2> output_stderr.txt"
Which will create two files in the current folder with the complete text content.

This means something went wrong. After executing "set PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS" executing "path" will only show those two directories.

You should try this part again, as you search path has *a lot* of entries and many of them could potentially cause issues. Anaconda3 is a likely candidate as it's built with MSYS2 (as is the newest Inkscape release) and could have installed conflicting library versions.
