Those little red dots drove me crazy for a long time... two identical circle... one had the red dot and one didn't. They looked identical in the graphics editor. but in the .svg, the one with the red circle had the transformed parameters. You wouldn't think just by rotating a circle it would be transformed...
I don't use Inkscape, I get too frustrated 
trying to make it do things... I expect it to work like CorelDraw... I have used CorelDraw for years in my business and know it like the back of my hand.
As for your fonts... did you ever install the Droid Sans and OCAR on your computer?
