Comment:

 This is duplicate of #1647 (see below the last comment) and seems to be
 not a qgis problem.


 {{{
 Multiline text often fails to import correctly. There are two possible
 solutions (outside of QGIS):


 * Fix the import problems in QT (I believe that's the desired route)

 * Fix the Inkscape export - which is theoretically standards compliant -
 but a bit awkward as it outputs everything in styles and uses strange
 repeated/redundant style and placement attributes. Once the attributes are
 cleaned up manuall, QGIS importst the SVGs fine


 I would recommend fixing both issues - but it is somehow outside the scope
 of QGIS. So I guess we can really close this bug. It's probably not solved
 but it can't be solved in QGIS directly.



 We should knock on Nokia/Trolltech and Inkscape door to get this fixed.
