This is duplicate of #1647 (see below the last comment) and seems to be not a qgis problem.

Multiline text often fails to import correctly. There are two possible solutions (outside of QGIS):


* Fix the import problems in QT (I believe that's the desired route) 

* Fix the Inkscape export - which is theoretically standards compliant - but a bit awkward as it outputs everything in styles and uses strange repeated/redundant style and placement attributes. Once the attributes are cleaned up manuall, QGIS importst the SVGs fine


I would recommend fixing both issues - but it is somehow outside the scope of QGIS. So I guess we can really close this bug. It's probably not solved but it can't be solved in QGIS directly.



We should knock on Nokia/Trolltech and Inkscape door to get this fixed.

I don't think it is a duplicate since #1647 is an enhancement and moreover has been closed. The current bug should remain open until fixed since it affects usability. If it needs to be fixed upstream then great it won't consume our devs' time.

Replying to lutra:

Fix the Inkscape export

Inkscape appears to work correctly as the SVG file attached to this ticket displays properly in Firefox. The problem seems to be with QGIS or its dependencies.
