I would like to see Inkscape be able use embedded fonts and
be able to display them as editable text. By the way, I am
the creator of the attached font so no worries about
licencing issues.

Hi -- I'm interested in this issue, too.

Kidproto--can you indicate what steps you took to create the attached document? Did you use Fontforge? Also, perhaps you could be explicit about what the desired correct rendering should be (some example PNGs of the glyphs, e.g.?)

Merging into 170963, since there is more extensive discussion of SVG font support there.
