My question is very simple I want to use the the LaTeX Math Black Board Font for a commercial design in Inkscape (does no matter file format), but don't know font name, nor download link.

2https://ctan.org/pkg/cmathbb but you'd be better off with any of the open type math fonts https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/425098/which-opentype-math-fonts-are-available – DG' Aug 02 '23 at 20:43

@DG' Where are the black board variants – Erdel von Mises Aug 05 '23 at 03:49

What do you mean? In the font, check the glyphs – DG' Aug 05 '23 at 07:27

@DG' You mean I have to use the blackboard unicode characters? – Erdel von Mises Aug 05 '23 at 21:38

Or, you could just set the symbols you need in latex and import the pdf as paths in Inkscape – DG' Aug 07 '23 at 07:27

Generate a pdf containing the symbols you need:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\begin{document}
$\mathbb{ABCXYZ}$
\end{document}
And import the result in Inkscape:

There is no “mathbb” font. Maybe you're referring to the one you get with amsfonts.
The letters are in their standard ASCII slot in the Type1 font
/usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/amsfonts/symbols/msbm10.pfb
The part before texmf-dist is system dependent, you should be able to find the file in your distribution by issuing
kpsewhich msbm10.pfb
from the command line. The file is also available on CTAN
https://ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/amsfonts/pfb
I don't know whether you can use Type1 fonts in Inkscape, but you should be able to find your way.
