I've tested some of these issues and so far I cannot see them, but there
is more testing to do.

? Where are the SVG files created? Please feel free to send me them for
testing./inspection. Note if you are saving from Sodipodi or Inkscape,
you should save as plain SVG.  I use SVG quite a bit in Scribus files,
as they print and export into PDF very nicely. 

Just wanted you to know the message has been acknowledged. No solutions
yet.

Cheers,
