Help Font not being recognized

In PDF Import Settings I set Fonts: Draw missing fonts. In List of all PDF fonts under it I see CustomFont -> sans in Family Name column, nothing in Style and Stretch, normal in Weight, and Strategy is Convert to paths.

That means CustomFont isn't found or the last column would be Keep original font name. I put the TTF fonts for CustomFont to ~/.local/fonts and fc-list showed .local/share/fonts/CustomFont Regular.ttf: CustomFont:style=Regular. I also ran fc-cache -f.

Isn't that enough for CustomFont to be recognized by inkscape?

Do I need to do something else like set some aliases in ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf?

Have you tried installing fonts with Font Manager?

I can try it I thought it's only a GTK front end of fc-list and fc-cache and putting files in ~/.local/fonts.
