Comment 10 for bug 1001521

you can get the most recent version of the code at the address:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/files/head:/share/extensions/

you will need to download the two files dxf_input.py and dxf_input.inx. Then save them in the directory \Inkscape\share\extensions\ where the current files are located. You may want to make a backup of your current 2 files just in case.

I can confirm that the dxf_input shows some unwanted formatting info like font name, will try later in the day to see if importing into QCad would help
