Import a new font...hhmmm.... Unless I miss my guess, you're a Windows 10 user, and you installed a new font, but Inkscape doesn't show it. If I guessed right, it's because of a bug in Windows. But if you install it on Windows in a little bit different way, you'll be able to see it in Inkscape. Note that this is for all Inkscape versions before 1.0, since 1.0 has a "fix" built in. But for earlier versions, here's what to do.
Instead of double-clicking on the TTF or OTF file, to install the font, right-click on it, and choose Install for All Users. Restart Inkscape. And you should see the font.
However, if you mean something else by importing a font, please clarify what you mean.
(Could a moderator make a sticky topic for one of these messages? It can be un-stickied, after 1.0 is released.)
