Did you load a copy of TeX Gyre Pagella for use w/ Inkscape or said
graphics program? If it's not available, a GUI program won't be able
to use it --- if one must edit a .pdf when a font is not available to
the local system, pretty much the only option is Enfocus PitStop, a
plug-in for Adobe Acrobat.
When I use OpenType fonts in XeTeX, then open .pdfs w/ the fonts
activated in Adobe Illustrator or some other graphics program they
``just work''.
