Sync Fonts doesn't actually sync the fonts #8

Hi,

I've added some additional fonts to the strokefontdata folder (added the EMS fonts) and then selected Sync Fonts. Nothing seems to happen. When I look the drop downs, nothing has updated.

I thought I read that an XML file is created, but I don't see one.

I've tried just modifying one of the names of the existing fonts to see if that works - not updated.
I've coped the font folder to here:
...AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions\inkscapestrokefont-master\strokefontdata

and
...\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions

Thanks

You need to add the fonts in strokefontdata under the user extensions folder. You can find the user extension folder path by going to Edit->Preferences->System and then find 'User Extensions' on the right side. Assuming the directory here is '..AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions' then the files need to go in '..AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions\strokefontdata'. Also note, you need to copy the files from the zip you download directly in the extensions folder. If you extract the zip downloaded from github, the unzip program would create a new inkscapestrokefont-master sub-folder under extensions. So you need to copy the contents of this sub-folder in extensions. Make sure the .py and .inx files as well as the strokefontdata folder are all directly under extensions.

Please let me know if you are still facing any issues.
