Comment 1 for bug 218502

I would like a better explaination than that please. Why the change? By having this changed it has now quadrupled my work time. By using the font list on the left I am able to scan through the desired fonts easily and quickly in designing projects for my clients--for my business. By having to use the text box only now, I have to click on the font to even see what it looks like. Time is money and that feature isn't helpful.

I again look forward to your response
Denise

Subject: [Bug 218502] [NEW] Can't change font styles like before

Public bug reported:

I have been using Inkscape for over a year now. In this latest version
when I type dialog and then try to change the font style on the left of
the screen, instead of the "text box" it will not let me do anything at
all. It is like it locks up. I can't select a font and then type either,
it will only type in one font. In changing the typing I have to go in
the text box/. This wouldn't be so bad but the font styles all show up
the same and won't reflect what the actual text style looks like unless
I click on the actual text. This is timely. It also is not registering
all of the fonts I have loaded in Windows, where it has in earlier
versions.

I look forward to your response.

Thanks
Denise
