With this set of extensions, users can
- create their own stroke fonts
- edit these or other fonts stored in the stroke font format
- Render text using the stroke fonts with various options like flow in Rectangle, justified text etc.
The font file format is the same used in Inkscape 1.0 Hershey Text extension, so the files created with this extension are compatible with the 1.0 Hershey Text render engine. Also, the fonts that come with 1.0 Hershey Text Extension can be edited with these extensions.

hi,
I've unzipped the extension and re-started Inkscape. The Custom Stroke Font menu displays, but all the submenu items are greyed out. Am I missing something?
Can you re-check if all the files are extracted correctly in the extensions folder? This problems occurs typically when the script file (with extension py) is not located but the description file (with extension inx) is available. Also, I suppose the user account has admin privileges.
Hi. I downloaded and unzipped in the correct extension folder (Windows 10 and Inkscape 1.0.2). When I restart inkscape and try to use this all the options are grayed out (like kittydeluxxe). I confirmed that there are 14 files and one folder in my user/extension folder. Any other suggestions? Also is it possible for you to give me the svg fonts that you created, to try with the Hershey extension. (I would assume that I would just copy those fonts into the user/fonts folder.) Thank you. This seems like such a wonderful extension.
@Wilma DAVENPORT Looks like this is quite common issue. A quick duckduckgo search gave this, maybe you can try the same solution... https://github.com/florianfesti/boxes/issues/212
The SVG fonts are part of the zip file. Just look at the contents of strokefontdata folder. You need to specify the full path of the SVG font file in Hershey Text extension of Inkscape.
@Khemadeva does the Create Font Design Template function support creating templates for the contextual alternates in an OpenType font?
