Comment 32 for bug 165665

I just tested this with a document imported from pdf with Inkscape on Windows 7 pro 32bit.
The pdf contains text in e.g. "Wingdings 3".

Inkscape 0.48.3.1 r9886 (stable release) does not display the glyphs in Wingdings 3 but uses "Sans" for displaying. The font selection dialogue shows "Sans" selected for all texts. The Wingding fonts are not listed in the font selection dialogue.
Fortunately after saving to svg the svg file contains the correct font names.

Nightly build r11604 (2012-08-13, latest available on skydrive.live.com) displays the glyphs correctly, and the Wingding fonts are listed in the font selection dialogue, BUT in the font selection dialogue NO font, NO font style and NO font size is selected for the selected text.

If needed, I can supply the svg file for testing.
