Comment 9 for bug 595432

Ok, some more info. I just downloaded "Inkscape 0.48+devel r12011" and ran it with a completely brand new preferences folder.

In this build, I can't even find "Arial Black" in the font list (0.48.4 at least showed it in the list). So, I go ahead and type something and then try to change the text to "Arial Black" by just typing the full font name in the font box.

Well, when I did that, instead of defaulting to Arial +Bold like in the 0.48.x branches, it now defaults to "Arial +Heavy".

So, I then go ahead and attempt to do the workaround that I posted in the thread above for 0.48.4 here in 0.48+devel r12011. Doing that finally gets Inkscape to show the font in the font box, HOWEVER, the yellow warning error icon shows up and says the "Font not found on system". WTF! I find that really weird since 0.48.4 at least acknowledges that the font exists. So, there seems to be a new regression not allowing the font to be even acknowledged in Inkscape. :(
