If you want to export your map to pdf or svg you should use new-style labelling (the Icon with the letters "ABC" on the toolbar), otherwise export fails. New-style labelling allows you to place labels parallel to lines, could be quite useful too.

Last time I checked the results with old Labeling and old Symbology were
more compatible with SVG export. Specifically the New stuff didn't keep
text as text which is a problem for SVG cleanup.

Did this change in 1.8?

Thanks,
