    Hello,

    I am casual inkscape user (flatpak Inkscape is installed on Silverblue). I have many fonts and most probably that is why "Select Font Family" menu is compressed (adding screenshot). I wonder if that is a bug, how to fix that?

    P.S. Now to look for desired font I am using "Font Manager" then searching for the font in "Text and Font" tab. :(

    Thank you

    A large number of fonts can lead to issues. https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1465

    Disabling preview in the text bar may help... double-click the text tool for its preferences:

    No, disabling preview in the text bar does not help.

    So, as I understand it is already reported as a bug?

    It also crashed today and it showed this message each time I tried to start the program:

    Something wrong with my system?

    Hi - the crash you experienced is due to having a pen tablet connected to your computer while starting Inkscape. It was fixed in 1.4 so the betas wouldn't crash.
