I have sent the svg of x01c using svn 8892 to the scribus bug list to see if they could help in getting scribus to import it correctly. The response was swift, and that it opens up nearly ok in scribus 1.3.3.12 (I was running 1.3.3.4), which is nearly the last in the stable 1.3.3 chain, and looks "perfect" in 1.3.5svn (I sent them screenshots of inkscape and firefox). There are some small text placement issues in 1.3.3.12, and the graph marker glyphs don't come out correctly.
I can't build the 1.3.5svn of plplot without updating a lot of other things on my system (and the binary rpm I found on the opensuse site installs ok but is missing dependencies to run), so I can't report on how "perfect" it is, but since 1.3.3.12 does a fairly decent job and the scribus people report a lot of work on the svg import in the interim, I'd guess that it's very good. Perhaps someone from the plplot list with a newer version of a linux distribution can get 1.3.5svn to run. The windows version of 1.3.5svn does indeed to a pretty good job (and spells shalom right to left as it should), but displaces graph markers slightly (and perhaps all text); it also uses a different font and fails to show superscripts raised and shrunk. I've reported this back to them for further comments. Anyway, generically this is good news and adds scribus to inkscape as an svg editor for plplot touch-ups...
