has begun putting single quotes around font names with spaces in them; I believe this is fine in terms of the CSS spec, except that recent released versions of Inkscape can't parse that and end up using the default font (generally bitstream vera) instead.

And why is this a problem? Even without any quotes, those versions failed on a lot of fonts with non-ascii names. See our bug tracker, it's one of the most reported bugs.
