I recently installed the "Birds of Paradise" font on my computer.  However, it does not show up on the fonts list in Inkscape.  It does show in my word program, so I know it is on the computer.  I have not had this happen with other fonts I have downloaded.  Can anyone give me an idea of what it is with this font that is different?

 

Just noticed the misspelling in the title.  I'll probably hear a lot of comments on that.

I wrote to the designer when i first installed the font.  It is a Kerning problem.  The .pdf that comes with your download explains it.  You have to manually set the Kerning.   Here is an explanation on how to do all that in Inkscape.

I've also attached the .pdf that explains how to do it in a couple of other programs.

Duh, just re-read your post, i didn't help lol.  Not what you wanted. Sorry, i don't know why its not showing up.  Try downloading a newer version of Inkscape maybe?  Or update the version you have?

It works on mine... I would try reinstalling it  and see if that does not help..If that does not work, I would text Travis, he has such a good grasp on things like this... first try the reinstall again
