I never had this problem personally because I’ve always been the sole user on my Windows machines. You will then be prompted to choose a file location where you would like to extract your font files (you can stick with the downloads folder) hit the Extract button to extract to this file location. Thanks to a tip I received from a student of my Inkscape Master Class, apparently Inkscape won’t recognize a font that’s only installed for one Windows user - it has to be installed for all users. Right click on the ZIP folder for your font and go to Extract All (denoted by the red arrow in the photo above). In order for your newly installed font to populate in Inkscape, you have to close out of the application and reopen it. The reason why your Inkscape fonts are missing could be because you haven’t restarted the Inkscape application since installing them. Wondering why fonts you are downloading are not showing in Inkscape I hope this video will help you with this problem. This is thanks to a recent Windows update. Quick Fix: Inkscape Fonts are Missing If your fonts are populating in other applications but not Inkscape, it’s most likely because the font needs to be installed for all users.

Easy At this point, you should also see vector points or nodes around the edges of your letters. Now your text is a group of vector shapes. Whenever you want to use a font in Inkscape, you have to install it on your operating system first, then Inkscape should catalog it next time you launch it. You’re going to select all your text, go to the Path Menu, and click Object to Path or press CTRL+Shift+C. I made a tutorial for this a while back that you can watch here. Before we get started, first make sure that you do indeed have your fonts installed on your system.
