The fonts contained in the SVG are WOFF encoded. There is no support in LO for them. Also, the font naming for the WOFF fonts seems challenging as well, meaning likely font fallback would be mishandled.

LO is not alone, i.e. open the attached SVGs in Inkscape--not very useful results there either.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Open_Font_Format "The Web Open Font Format (WOFF) is a font format for use in web pages..."

Lowest priority, IMHO. And no question for UX.
