Free download is available on our website. Open Sans, Source Sans Pro, Frutiger Font, and Museo Sans are mostly similar to this.

A “semi-condensed” width was added in early 2002 expanding the family to forty fonts in four widths and five weights each, with complementary italics. Myriad Pro originally included thirty fonts in three widths and five weights each, with complementary italics. As an OpenType release, Myriad Pro expands this sans serif loved ones to incorporate Greek and Cyrillic glyphs, and also incorporating old-style figures and bettering assist for Latin-based languages. Myriad Pro is the OpenType version of the original Myriad font family. If they work for you (or if they don’t!), drop a comment below.Myriad is a humanist sans-serif typeface designed by Robert Slimbach and Carol Twombly for Adobe Systems. Fine, but my client didn’t have this option! If this is the situation you find yourself in, here are instructions for adding new fonts that will be read by Inkscape (and Gimp). This means when you have downloaded a font, instead of double-clicking then clicking Install you have to right-click and choose Install for all users instead. In my client’s case, it was because the fonts were not installed for all users. The new solution involves nothing more complicated (on Windows) than installing them in the standard fonts directory (C:WindowsFonts) but it also seems that in some cases this also fails to work. Typical! The question then, is how to solve this persistent issue with Inkscape when the SkyFonts (which I find has become unreliable and unstable) workaround doesn’t work? When a client was asked me about this, I directed them to my original post, only to discover that those instructions no longer work. I wrote a post a few months ago about using SkyFonts to install new fonts in Inkscape, a freeware graphic design package that is a great substitute for Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw.
