This is something I might be able to work on.....I've just begun learning C and GTK GUI programming, so that I can contribute to Inkscape development.
Any idea how I might get started?

Does Inkscape support SVG Fonts embedded within SVG documents?
Not yet. We'd like to do it in principle, but nobody's gotten around to doing it yet, and we're still working out a lot of issues with non-SVG fonts anyway.

Well... there's a few things to that.
It's one feature I've looked at a little.
Probably one of the initial things would be to define the problem.
Skimming the pertinent parts of the SVG specs might be one thing http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/fonts.html
Then getting some test cases would be good http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/20030813/htmlframe/full-fonts-elem-01-t.... http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/20030813/htmlframe/full-fonts-elem-02-t.... http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/20030813/htmlframe/full-fonts-elem-03-b.... http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/20030813/htmlframe/full-fonts-elem-04-b....
Those came from the SVG 1.1 Test Suite, which can be found at http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/
Though aside from those, getting a few simple test cases from what Adobe Illustrator exports could be good also. I'm not sure if it varies much from those cases.
Load up a file from one of those test cases, and look how things work. Breakpointing some of those files listed in that .tgz Bulia sent can help.

Anyone looking to contribute coding time to Inkscape can go through the lists of bugs[1] or feature requests[2] and find an interesting, unassigned bug / feature to work on.
