Hello,

I'm having some trouble with fonts in Inkscape. If I select Arial and enter some text, it shows up fine. If I select Helvetica and enter text, it converts to Sans (the default). Selecting the text and choosing a different font works, except for Helvetica.

I have the same trouble when importing an EPS/PDF file that contains Helvetica fonts. The fonts in the image will be converted to Sans.

Anyone have any ideas? Is there a way I can resolve this by adding my own TTF or pointing to the mac system fonts?

Inkscape v0.48.2 r9819 running on Mac OSX 10.6.8

Please help.

I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
