Thank you so much for responding to me. I can get the listing of fonts (from clicking on the down arrow next to the font style listed), I can even scroll through the types of fonts but once I click on a font to either type with or to change my text with--it does nothing. Where as before I would click on the desired font and it would change what ever I had highlighted, etc. Changing the font style in the text box wouldn't be so bad except I don't see what the font style looks like without "clicking" through each font. I design vinyl work for people and when I used the font window on the left side of the screen I could scan a large group of fonts all at once looking for what was needed. The other way has just complicated my work. I am glad to know that I can re-down load the other version. And yes I can have both on the computer. I do look forward to using .46 also, but .45.1 is so much easier at this point. Do you know if this is a glich or a change in
 features? I look forward to hearing back.

Sincerely 
Denise

Subject: [Bug 218502] Re: Can't change font styles like before

Hi Denise,

Thanks for filing a bug report. Please note that bugs sometimes take a
while to be looked at. Since you sound really frustrated, let me remind
you that the old version (0.45.1) is still available from the
sourceforge download page -
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93438&package_id=99112
- if this still has most of the features you want, but you occasionally
want to use a 0.46 feature, you can normally install both on the same
machine.

Now to your problem. Sounds like you are trying to use the drop down
font menu on the top left, rather than click on the T on the top bar to
open the Text and Font properties dialogue, as the latter takes more
time. It sounds like the drop down font selection menu is not coming up
for you. Is that correct?

I find that using 0.46 the font menu drops down and I can see the font previews. Can you do that much? Note: you need to click on the arrow just to the right of the presently used font name, just to the left of the font size selector.
I do find that the menu kind of locks in the down position after I select a font. I find the pressing Enter will then dismiss the menu.

If my description doesn't sound like your problem, then please explain
your problem a little more.

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool: New

Bug description:
I have been using Inkscape for over a year now. In this latest version when I type dialog and then try to change the font style on the left of the screen, instead of the "text box" it will not let me do anything at all. It is like it locks up. I can't select a font and then type either, it will only type in one font.  In changing the typing I have to go in the text box/. This wouldn't be so bad but the font styles all show up the same and won't reflect what the actual text style looks like unless I click on the actual text. This is timely. It also is not registering all of the fonts I have loaded in Windows, where it has in earlier versions.

I look forward to your response.

Thanks
Denise
