Hi Ron,

just download any font file you want to use, and install it on your system the way you would normally do this (how to do this exactly depends on your operating system).

Then the easiest way to update your font cache, so that Inkscape is informed about the fact that there are new fonts, is to reboot your computer.
It may take a while for Inkscape to start up after a new font was added.

Be aware that font manager software can interfere with Inkscape finding the fonts.

Regards,
 Maren

Assuming you're using some form of Microsoft Windows operating system, you can copy (Ctrl+C) the font files and paste (Ctrl+V) them into

C:\WINDOWS\Fonts

as you would any other files. Since they are immediately installed, it is good to restart Inkscape in order to use them.

Thank you marenhachmann & bobspcrepair
for your kind reply and Bob, your simple yet effective answer brought me the solution
I had done it longtime ago by using another Design software, but since once the font installed, we don't really use it anymore thereafter, so I simply forgot, and was searching all over...
I'm grateful for your kind response!
I have installed all my additional fonts and all is there at inkscape!

Wishing both of you an uplifting weekend!
Yours Ron D
