Try saving it as a Plain SVG, and otherwise, please upload a sample file.

With 1.2.1 I'm mostly not having this problem. Now I see I can ungroup the objects and resize the text boxes to make the letters appear.

However, Scribus replaces the font of the svg with the font currently selected in Scribus.

One more thing: I notice that Scribus ignores the master opacity of the geometric objects.

I believe this is the same bug as 0001329. I added a sample file from OpenClipArt that shows this problem on my machine (using 1.2.2.1).

Bumping to 1.3 for the SVG re-write.

SVG text elements are better handled in 1.3.3.5cvs. To import the attached svg perfectly, scribus needs improved graphics capabilities however, noticeably the ability to apply more complex transform on layout elements than rotation + scaling. These features won't be available soon, i hope they will in 1.4 however.

Text elements of sample svg files can now be imported correctly in 1.3.5svn, text being now imported as vectors in order to better support svg graphic capabilities
