really ugly.
Maybe inkscape doesn't include the right fonts into the exported
eps-file sometimes, but I don't really care as Arial works fine.
I had the exact opposite problem. Arial didn't work -- Inkscape said it was

I had some problems with »extra signs« in Hoefler Text that displayed
well in Inkscape as well as in LyX (using XeTeX) but for some reason
were not there any more when including the SVG in LyX. I am writing a
work on islamic political thought, so there is a lot of Arabic
transliteration I use. Many of the letters, such as in Madîna, ‘Â’ischa
and so on (I have no idea, whether they will be displayed correctly on
this list, in my mail client they do (Outlook users usually experience
problems, e.g.)) simply were not displayed correctly any more. Anyway,
when exporting the SVG in Inkscape to PDF, the fonts are automatically
embedded (as far as I remember) and inserting the PDF in LyX is
painless. My more simple graphics are still SVG directly in LyX, as it
is more comfortable to only make changes in one file.
Anyway, I think that Inkscape really is the problem here, not LyX.
By the way, just for typographic reasons, you know of the typographic
criticism of Arial, do you :)?
