If possible, it would  be good to strip out the text from your SVG in 
Inkscape, then save. Import this text-less SVG to Scribus, then add the 
text with text frames in Scribus. This will produce better results by 
far, since you have all the text-modifying capabilities of Scribus at 
your disposal.
