I'm sorry for the incredibly long delay in replying in responding to you but life sometimes gets in the way of OSS development. I thank you for your patience and, although I'm closing this issue out, I hope you'll be glad to know that I believe this issue has been resolved in with today's 0.6.0 release with the introduction of UTF-8 support.

If you continue to have this problem, please raise a new ticket with an SVG to reproduce the problem and, where possible, an expected and actual file of the output. I hope you can understand my delay.
