Hi Bruce,
I am not experiencing this issue. I have Athena and Inkscape both open
right now.
My environment variables list does not have FONTCONFIG_FILE in it. I
have a vague
recollection of deleting that env var some time ago when changing
versions of Demeter.
Regardless, Demeter is working for me without issue...Inkscape as
well...so perhaps
a simple short-term fix is just to delete FONTCONFIG_FILE from the env
var list rather than
uninstalling Demeter.
Demeter 0.9.26 (pre 2)
Inkscape 0.92 (fresh install today)
win10x64, AMDx64
cheers,
Robert

Windows users:
I got an interesting bug report today from a fellow who develops a
popular open source program for vector graphics editing (Inkscape).
Apparently, there is a problem in Demeter's installer that has an
impact on the ability of that program (and possibly others) in
accessing system font files. The issue with Inkscape is described
here: https://github.com/bruceravel/demeter/issues/51
I mention this here on the mailing list in an effort to help the folks
who maintain Inkscape.
If you use Demeter and Inkscape on your Windows machine, there is a
problem and it is my fault :(
The simplest solution is to uninstall Demeter, then continue using
Inkscape.
If that's not true or if someone needs a better solution right now,
post here and I will help you work out a solution.
I think the real fix to the problem is simple and I will work on a new
installer this month.
Cheers,
B
