The extensions are maintained and working, albeit with some bugs, and are intended for use with Inkscape 1.0 and above. The current MightyScape release has a whole bunch of useful stuff inside, for tasks as varied as laser cutting, 3D printing, vinyl cutting, as well as improvements on areas where Inkscape is a bit weak out of the box – like CAD, geometry and patterning. The MightyScape project aims to solve that, putting a bunch of Inkscape plugins into one useful release. The software also has plenty of extensions floating around on the Internet, though until now, they haven’t been organised particularly well. If they work for you (or if they don’t!), drop a comment below.Inkscape is an amazing piece of open source software, a vector graphics application that’s a million times more lightweight than comparable commercial offerings while coming in at the low, low price of free. Fine, but my client didn’t have this option! If this is the situation you find yourself in, here are instructions for adding new fonts that will be read by Inkscape (and Gimp). This means when you have downloaded a font, instead of double-clicking then clicking Install you have to right-click and choose Install for all users instead. In my client’s case, it was because the fonts were not installed for all users. The new solution involves nothing more complicated (on Windows) than installing them in the standard fonts directory (C:WindowsFonts) but it also seems that in some cases this also fails to work. Typical! The question then, is how to solve this persistent issue with Inkscape when the SkyFonts (which I find has become unreliable and unstable) workaround doesn’t work?

When a client was asked me about this, I directed them to my original post, only to discover that those instructions no longer work. I wrote a post a few months ago about using SkyFonts to install new fonts in Inkscape, a freeware graphic design package that is a great substitute for Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw.
