I did some other tests: on my system: - I removed all noto fonts + font cache reindex - test inkscape -> fonts preview ok - I edited ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and changed line "gtk-font-name" with another existing font (for example Arundina) "gtk-font-name=Noto Sans 10" -> "gtk-font-name=Arundina Sans 10" - test inkscape -> problem - with "gtk-font-name=nonexistentfontname" - test inkscape -> fonts preview ok - with a different existing font "gtk-font-name=Dejavu Sans Mono 10" - test inkscape -> problem - I reinstalled all fonts noto - I commented line: "#gtk-font-name=Noto Sans 10" - test inkscape -> fonts preview ok
on a fresh debian install (debian 10.4): - I installed desktop xfce4 and plasma/kde - I activated sid repository and installed inkscape + reboot - I am logged in to the xfce4 desktop - test inkscape -> fonts preview ok - I created file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini with "gtk-font-name=Noto Sans 10" - test inkscape-> fonts preview ok - I am logged in to the plasma/kde desktop - test inkscape (file setting.ini is already present) -> problem - I removed font name "gtk-font-name=" - test inkscape -> ok - I inserted another existing font (for example Gentium) "gtk-font-name=Gentium 10" - test inkscape -> problem from the tests it would seem that the problem occurs from the combination: debian/sid + plasma/kde + config gtk-font-name (indicating any existing character) if can help...
