I cannot reproduce the bug on a new machine with inkscape 0.91-12, i.e. the SVG file looks fine in inkscape, whether I use my ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf file or not. > Note: I initially used the above code to avoid bitmap fonts.

So, either this has been fixed in inkscape, or something significant has changed on the system (e.g. in fontconfig). I suppose that this bug should be closed. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
