The version of Hershey Text distributed with Inkscape includes about 12 different typefaces, as well as several symbol-based fonts. These original "Hershey Fonts" were originally created by Dr. A. V. Hershey while working at the U.S. National Bureau of Standards (now NIST), in the 1960s.

Please see our [https://gitlab.com/oskay/svg-fonts SVG font repository] for more about the individual fonts included with the distribution.
