(Get the code!)
> IMHO, they should be specified abstractly (i.e. Sans, Serif or Monospace).
The current versions of the tutorials in Inkscape trunk use lower case names instead of the regular generic names. Inkscape's font selector and dialog however are case sensitive and don't properly handle the lowercase names in the GUI:
steps to reproduce:
1) open a tutorial
2) select a text object
3) open the 'TExt and Font' dialog
4) font preview is broken
Similarly an error is displayed in the font family selector of the text tool controls bar (e.g. font 'serif' is 'not found on the system').
Proposed fix: use capitalized names for the generic fonts. Note that this does not affect the rendering on-canvas.
(tested with Inkscape 0.48.0 and 0.48+devel r9986 on OS X 10.5.8)
