Comment 28 for bug 200899

@h1repp - one fix I've found is to look in the <tspan> element and remove the "-inkscape-font-specification" attribute. So long as the font-family of the parent tag is the non-italic version of the same, it will render fine. So if you can get something in your workflow to modify this (PHP/Ruby/whatever script, XSLT processor etc.) then you may be able to can plug the gap (works on OS X 10.6.8 manually, as per my dup ticket).
