Bug Description
When I try to generate a pdf from the attached inkscape file, things seem to work properly. However,
- when I open it with evince, I got a lot of "Illegal character <6e> in hex string" (with varying character values) but it opens correctly and I can see everything.
- same thing with pdflatex : the resulting document looks correct but I get a lot of the same error message in the pdflatex output.
- when I open it with acroread, I have an error message and I can't see the diagram. The error message is "There was an error processing the page. There was a problem reading this document (117)."
Inkscape 0.48.0 r9654 on Ubuntu 10.10.
I tried to simplify the inkscape file a bit but each time I try the error messages change or disappear.

Attaching PDF file exported with Inkscape 0.48.0 on OS X 10.5.8 (cairo 1.8.10)
Note: Inkscape used the fallback font 'Sans' (Bitstream Vera Sans). I haven't tried to replace the fonts with those I have available under a similar name:
Found the following fonts (Extensions > Text > Replace font):
'Times New Roman,'
DejaVu Sans
DejaVu Sans Bold
Times New Roman
Trebuchet MS
Trebuchet MS Bold
