Package: inkscape
Version: 0.46-5
Severity: normal

  It appears that all (most?) Inkscape text objects use an experimental
SVG feature, which causes the text to appear as a black box in Firefox.
e.g., see 
http://algebraicthunk.net/~dburrows/blog/entry/images/apt-files-diagram-2.svg
The remedy for this seems to be selecting Text -> Convert to Text, which
according to its hover documentation "preserves appearance".  But in
fact, it doesn't; for instance, selecting the text "Updates on
--merge-avail or --update-avail" in that SVG and choosing "Convert to
Text" shifts the text to the left and left-justifies it (even though
the text dialog still claims it's center-justified -- another bug or
part of the same one?).
