I am confused seeing it the first time.

When importing some PDFs, it appears that the font face is displayed in the font selector different, depending on what you choose:

A) select a container (images 1,2 below)

B) select a text object inside (images 3,4 below)

C)Switch to edit mode(text edit tool) (images 5,6 below)

Why is that?

(P.S. weird post formatting, that is not me, but forum's bug, sorry)

Fyi, Someone fromjapan is using 1.0 beta.  (I'm not familiar with new text features or PDF to SVG conversion, in this version yet.)

you mean, it is not common behaviour? I thought, it is something about container properties which I don't understand...

I have no idea.  I'm not familiar with the new text features, or with PDF to SVG conversion, in 1.0 beta.  Hopefully someone who is familiar with them, will be able to answer.

This is expected behavior of standard text in inkscape.

• "A"  Is shown in the Text and font dialog because the default style shows when no text style is applied to the group (container).
• "B"  Is shown in the Text and font dialog because that is the "outer style" of the text object.
• "C" Is shown in the Text and font dialog when text editing is active and the inner characters are not the same as the outer style.

In the image below, note the group is selected. Text object "text9" has the outer style, and it's tspan elements have different styles.

The SVG file is displayed below the screenshot, and can be downloaded for examination.

But how could Urbano typeface become default? I did not set it this way. Neither it is a font displayed (used in text input mode)

> "outer style" of the text object.

Ah, there could be "outer" styles... I see. I did not expect that... thought typeface is an exclusive property of text, like an invisible tag enveloping a group of characters. So, a line, or a polygon can also have a default typeface, the same kind of <fontface> tag enveloping polygon definition?
