Some fonts are missing in the drop down menu

Post by jvalencia » Sat Apr 22, 2017 7:39 pm

I installed some new fonts in my .fonts folder (linux) and I can't see them in Qcad (after I restarted it).

This same behaviour can be seen in Firefox, some fonts won't show too.

But other programs like Gimp can use them without problems, every single font is shown.

If I type the font name by hand in the qcad font dialog, it will work.

See the screenshots: in this case "Tungsten Medium" was added by hand and it appeared at the end of the list.

Hi,
do they have permission to be shown?

Yes, the option is unchecked. It's interesting that the same thing happens in Firefox but not in Gimp.
