Hoping someone can help me with this. I recently purchased a new Lenovo Windows 10 laptop, 64 bit system. I have been using Inkscape on my older laptop for a couple of years now with no issues. I have downloaded the most recent version of Inkscape for 64 bit .exe version to my new laptop. When I try to put text into Inkscape, I am unable to use any of my fonts (which are already installed for all users). The only option I get is sans serif, when I click on the dropdown arrow next to the font, I get a blank box with the Inskcape logo on the left and the X on the right, but no fonts appear, and then the entire app just shuts down. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, I have restarted. I've tried everything I can think of, but cannot get it to work on this computer. I should also mention that I am not operating in S mode. I hope someone can help. Thanks!
This is from a new Install of Inkscape 1.0.2 on the latest version of Windows 10 Pro. Windows was completely wiped and reinstalled this week along with Inkscape.
Does your Edit>Preferences>Text Panel look the same as the image ?
I can see all my fonts in the Text and Font menu, but even if I choose one and try to set it as a default, it goes back to sans serif. Two images attached. Showing my text and font menu, and then when I click the drop down for fonts, right before the program closes.
Just as an FYI - I fixed my problem by copying the entire program from my old computer and installing it on my new computer. I had no issues with copying it over and the program works fine. I don't know why, but at least I am able to use Inkscape again!
I had this problem too. You have to install fonts for all users in order for them to appear in Inkscape, Right click on the font file you want to install an select "Install for all users", then restart Inkscape if necessary.

Mine is Windows 10 Home. Will that make a difference?
Yes, my preferences look exactly like that image.
