3. With sodipodi I have added text elements to a drawing which used a fixed width font and contained multiple blanks to form a simple table. But inkscape prints only one blank for any number of blanks in a row.

I just tested this: created a file with multiple spaces in text in Sodipodi 0.34 and opened it in Inkscape. Works fine.
