OzarkSawdust Posted January 10, 2020 Report Posted January 10, 2020 I'm about to pull out what little hair I have left!!! I can not get "Birds-Of-Paradise" to load and install for Inkscape! I've tried all kinds of things... but no luck. The computer says it's in there...I try to "replace it" as it doesn't show up in Inkscape. Can someone please help me? Step by step....! Quote
Roq Posted January 10, 2020 Report Posted January 10, 2020 Running windows 10? If so you need to "install for all users" https://www.techcrises.com/how-to/install-custom-fonts-on-windows/ Quote
OzarkSawdust Posted January 10, 2020 Author Report Posted January 10, 2020 It's in the laptop. I can use it in Word...but it doesn't show up in Inkscape. I always hit "install for all users"...…?????? Quote
jollyred Posted January 10, 2020 Report Posted January 10, 2020 I had this problem for several years, as have others here. Birds of Paradise would show up on every program I had, except Inkscape. Then one day it magically showed up in my Inkscape. i don't know how it happened, My guess is that the Fairy Godmother department finally came through for me. I do wait for it to disappear again, though. Tom OzarkSawdust 1 Quote

I have no idea if this will work or not, but go to the font manager and delete birds of paradise shut down the computer, not a restart, shut it down & after about 30 sec boot up the computer and install birds of paradise shut down the computer again, after about 30 sec boot up and see if it worked Quote

JimErn Posted January 10, 2020 Report Posted January 10, 2020 it could be the version, I'm using inkscape v 0.92 I seem to remember that I had some issues with a newer version and reverted, but for the life of me I can not remember what they were Quote
