Hi.

I've found an issue regarding the font Arial Narrow.

Inkscape 0.92.5 (2060ec1f9f, 2020-04-08) / WIndosw 10
Can select this font, but only font style Condensed is possible to choose.

Inkscape 0.92.4 (5da689c313, 2019-01-14) / Windows 10
Cannot select this font. I see Arial and Arial Nova in the font drop down list. But not Arial Narrow.
If I have a svg file created with 0.92.5 (above mentioned version) that already contain a text element where Arial Narrow is used, then I can select this font.

1.0beta2 (unknown) / Fedora 31 Workstation
Text objects is not visible at all. Can only be selected from xml editor or by Ctrl+A, and it seem not possible do edit those in any way.

The last issue (Inkscape beta) seems kind of related to the two above, but should I file it as one or two reports - if not already covered by an existing bug report ?

File two issues, but add a comment to each that references the other by ID or URL, describing why you think they might be related. If the devs decide they're essentially the same thing (or caused by the same problem) they'll resolve one of them as a duplicate - but if they are separate problems it's easier to have two separate issues to start with.
