[Inkscape-user] URW Chancery L font needed

[heathenx]

does anyone know if it's possible to get the "URW Chancery L" font loaded in winxp? this font is
loaded on my ubuntu 7.04, opensuse 10.1 and 10.2 systems. from what i can tell it's a ghostscript
font of some kind. i don't think it's a truetype font.

btw, i have ghostscript installed on windows, if that does any good.

thank-you,

heathenx

ps. shame on me for using a non-truetype font. live and learn.

ok, i somewhat answered my own question. i found on my windows system a font called "ITC Zapf
Chancery". I'm not sure where this font came from but I have noticed that the ITC and URW chancery
font are pretty much interchangeable. i'm going to switch to the ITC font since it's a truetype
font. perhaps this font got installed when i installed inkscape...hmm.

thanks anyway,

Tastes (and experiences) differ. I always use a Type 1 font. If your
software and/or OS can't handle Type 1 fonts then they are deficient
and need to be replaced.

Inkscape runs under Linux, although installation can be a bear.
Suggest you run it on the superior platform, and not xp.
