(This option is probably a remnant of Inkscape's Linux origins.) There is a free web-based service for it at Ĭontrary to my previous statement in the comments, Inkscape on OS X can indeed make use of Windows-flavoured Postscript Type1 fonts (.PFB) if they are placed in a special directory (=folder) on the UNIX level of OS X: Maybe just convert the old fonts into the modern OTF format. (Adobe applications have their own font handling, which is why it works there when you put the fonts into the Adobe font folder.) Anyway, the OS X standard folder for user-specific fonts would be ~/Library/Fonts (or /Library/Fonts to be accessible for all users)… In the olden days, Postscript Type-1 fonts came in two different versions – Mac or Windows.pfb files are the Windows flavor, which doesn't work on operating-system level in Mac OS X. I am using the Inkscape.app downloaded from the webpage (0.48.2 r9819), XQuartz 2.7.4, and OSX 10.8.2. dfont or otf/ttf, but in my case it is just not practical. I am aware that I can convert the fonts from. But for some reason, Inkscape doesn't use it. I've successfully opened the same pdf in Illustrator by copying the pfb file to Adobe's local font directory, so I know that the font works. I've searched the web to no avail, there just isn't a lot of material out there on this. But when I try to open a pdf file with this particular font, Inkscape does not use it and replaces by the default font. From a verbose output of fc-cache, I could see that this directory was read and included in fontconfig's cache. fontconfig/ with *-le64.cache-3 files (I assume this to be the same as the *fonts.cache-1 files). I could not find *fonts.cache-1 files in my system, it seems like what fc-cache does is to populate a few locations like.
The instructions seem to be only for Linux or Windows, but I assumed things would work like in Linux. However, I can't get Inkscape to find them. I have type 1 fonts in pfb format that I would like to use with Inkscape on a Mac.
