What version of Inkscape are you using? It works correct for me with Inkscape
0.46 and 0.47.

Works fine here with Inkscape 0.46 and 0.47.
I don't recommend to convert fonts to paths by default because the font information is then lost.
This means that kerning etc. is lost when scaling the image, because the characters would be scaled
linearly like normal paths. It is furthermore not possible to extract text out of the resulting PDF
or EPS file. So when somebody nevertheless prefer to loose the font information he can add this
option manually in the converter section (but this option is currently in Inkscape 0.46 and also in
0.47).
I applied my patch in a slightly modified version that used the required full file paths for
Inkscape. Can you please test if this works for you with Inkscape 0.47. If not, we have to remove
the --export-drawing-area option in the Inkscape call.
thanks for testing and regards
Uwe
