Adding a new font to inkscape

[TerryB]

I'm trying to add a new font to inkscape (I know there are already a bunch) from the web site "1001freefonts.com".  I don't see a way to import them into inkscape.  Help please

I just add new fonts to the computer fonts file and they appear in Inkscape.

Download font to desktop click on it and install it's that simple. Roly

After you install the font, then restart Inkscape.  It should show up then.

I just learned to do this today myself, so I'll pass on what I did.  (I use Windows 8, so I don't have a start bar.)  After I downloaded my font (and hey!  I use the same site!  yay!), opened the .zip file, which will give you a few files (mine was the font file itself and a readme file), in the downloads folder.  Leave that open.  In Windows 8, click the folder hotkey at the bottom of the screen (In windows 7 and earlier, open the Start Menu and just search for the font folder.)  Go to the control panel, then in the search bar type in "fonts".  The computer's font folder will come up first in the search results.  Open this, and make the window smaller.  Drag and drop the new font file from the downloads folder into the fonts folder.  Restart your programs.  You should be able to access the font from every program now.

 

I hope that wasn't too confusing!

Thanks guys -- I've gotten it working.  Trying to get a western theme font and 1001 seemed to have several I liked.
