Context: (Verdana) Greek letters on Inkscape SVG's composed on old laptop show up as (Verdana) Latin counterparts when the files are loaded into Inkscape on a new laptop.

The only thing I can think of off hand is that you had additionally fonts installed on the old machines and not currently installed on the new one. Inkscape will default to a similiar font as it can if the correct font is not installed.
I considered that originally, but the text is in verdana, and Inkscape (on the new laptop) recognizes (and displays) it as such. These images are finished, so it isn't imperative that I edit these files (the .eps files I embed in my thesis, also copied from the old laptop, are rendering correctly), but if I did have to update them for some reason, I would have to correct all of the Greek letters.
