result of Evince print to svg of the above problematic_file.pdf Edit (8.4 MiB, image/svg+xml)

workaround found!

I have also run into the same problem with Inkscape 0.47pre4 r22446, built Oct 15 2009 which is presently in ubuntu 9.10 (AMD64). Interestingly, I have found a workaround: open the PDF in Evince and print it to svg. Then when you open the file in Inkscape, fonts are OK (see attached file).

Maybe our beloved developers should take a look at how Evince does the trick, and implement it upon import of pdf... (I'm not skilled enough in programming to do this myself, unfortunately)
