Comment (by ryanlerch):
I had a quick look at the SVG, and their might have been a few things that
were causing the issues when importing into Scribus -- the first big one
that i don't think scribus can handle is clip paths. I also usually
convert all text to paths too, and also (probably not 100% neccecary, but
i usually do it anyway), is to convert all strokes to paths as well, so
there is no strokes in the SVG when importing.
I had a go at doing all this conversion for the flockshirt_1.svg, and here
is what I came up with:

team/attachment/ticket/369/flocktshirt_1-converted.svg
importing this one into scribus hopefully will behave a lot better.
When exporting this as a PDF, i usually just follow the instructions in
Mo's tutorial

here] (the vector one), and haven't really had an issue with printers
lately (i most recently did this for all the fudcon Pune stuff last month)
-- the only issue i ran into was that the printer needed me to export to
pdf1.5 instead of the pdf1.4 that scribus (1.4.5) defaulted to for me.
