Re: [matplotlib-devel] FYI: SVG with option "svgfont" enabled hangs inkscape

Yep.  That's the reason that's not the default setting.  The docs for 
svg.fonttype says:

#svg.fonttype : 'path'         # How to handle SVG fonts:
#    'none': Assume fonts are installed on the machine where the SVG 
will be viewed.
#    'path': Embed characters as paths -- supported by most SVG renderers
#    'svgfont': Embed characters as SVG fonts -- supported only by Chrome,
#               Opera and Safari
