So I prepared a ready-to-use font with a built-in baseline shift that  
works around the bug in inkscape. Download
http://www.remote.org/frederik/tmp/downshift.ttf
and install it properly, and change all occurrences of "verdana" in  
your .svg file to "downshift".

Sounds neat. Will try it at home tonight.
Can I ask for clarification?
Are you really saying change verdana ocurrences in the SVG file, or can
you change all occurences in the XML file prior to rendering so it is a
one-off?
Thanks anyway.

--------------------------------
I have meanwhile found a font that looks much like Verdana but has a  
license allowing derivative works and distributing them: Bitstream  
Vera Sans. (The condition is that the derived works must not contain  
"bitstream" or "vera" in their name.)
 You should then see something more  
pleasing to the eye!
