Normally when you want to use a font in Inkscape you have to install onto your operating system, which makes it accessible to Inkscape and every other app on the computer. In this tutorial though we'll be going over how you can load fonts directly from a folder without having to install them.
To accomplish this all we have to do is copy the folder's path address and paste it into Inkscape Preferences. Watch the video to see how.
