Bug Description
When an SVG file uses an unavailable font, Inkscape (0.92.2) correctly reports a warning such as
** (inkscape:26726): WARNING **: Font 'foo bar' substituted with 'DejaVu Sans'
but inkview (same version) just silently replaces the font. Instead, printing a warning to stderr seems warranted.
Such a SVG file can e.g. be generated by saving a file with some text content using DejaVu Sans via inkscape, then manually replacing all instances of 'DejaVu Sans' in the .svg to 'foo bar'.
