Thanks very much gents, it is a font problem. I opened the svg file with a text editor and replaced Lilypond's Century Schoolbook L with Times New Roman for all text occurrences, which solved the problem. I guess in order to avoid having to do that I need to make Inkscape see the Century Schoolbook L font? How come Lilypond can find the font but Inkscape cannot?
By the way, I presume I'm "top-posting". I read somewhere that there's something wrong with doing that, but doesn't it allow whoever is following the thread to get the new material without having to go through the old material?
