    I recently installed the "gothic extras" fonts to windows these are split into five files gothic_extras_A, B, C, D & E when I look at them using the windows character map they display as five different fonts. In Inkscape they display as one font called Gothic Extras (without the letter suffix). In the text and font properties box on the style pane the font is showing as "Normal" under the CSS column and "E" under the face column. The character set displayed is indeed the one contained in "Gothic Extras E". Does anybody know of a way to change the face from E to A, B, C, or D?

    I don't know how to change those fonts to separate families. They don't have ttf font info to modify with FontForge.

     

    I installed/deleted them to create symbol libraries that can be installed in user-profile symbol directories (which might be easier than using them as fonts).

    No problemo. Other Inkscape users will need these, over time. Those that search, will find this topic and the conversions.
