Likely same issue as reported in bug #667091 (see also bug #728086). If
the font defined as 'default' font (in Inkscape's preferences) is no
longer installed on the current system (e.g. after a system update), it
is not possible with current stable Inkscape 0.48 to change the font via
dropdown menu on the text tool controls bar.

Proposing to link as duplicate to bug #667091.

Title:
  Inkscape: Unable to change or select any font

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
  New
Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Selecting any font in inkscape fails silently. Although the new font
  appears to be selected in the font drop-down list, the actual text
  never changes.

  To replicate:
  1) Start a new document in inkscape
  2) Use the Text tool and type something.
  3) Select the text that was just typed.
  4) In the font drop-down box, change the font to something else.
  5) Observe that the name in the font drop-down box has changed, but that the actual font used in the text has not.
