For the file: http://webdesign.wexfordpress.net/index.svg the text on the boxes looks fine in Inkscape but when viewed in Firefox online or locally the text on the box "Design Cover" overflows the box on the right side.

Inkscape 48.1 and Firefox 3.18, Salix (Slackware) 13.37

You selected DejaVu Serif Bold Semi-Condensed but it appears that FireFox is using DejaVu Serif Bold (not Semi-Condensed). Firefox has problems finding the correct font. See:

Notice the fonts such as URW Chancery are not displayed correctly (I also see that I failed to update the PNG to the latest version...).
