System Information
Operating system: Windows 10
Graphics card: N/A

Blender Version
Broken: 2.80
(example: 2.79b release)
(example: 2.80, edbf15d3c044, blender2.8, 2018-11-28, as found on the splash screen)
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
Importing an SVG fails.
I wanted to make my own add-on for blender which would
render latex math formulas in blender using the approach documented here in the first answer:
https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/72467/use-latex-in-blender

Instead of requiring add-on users to have latex and poppler-utils installed, I figured I could obtain
the SVG using this neat project: https://github.com/uetchy/math-api

However if I try to use the SVGs generated from that site, blender is not able to import them using the standard
svg importing addon.

Here's the traceback:

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible).

From the default startup import the attached file or any other generated from http://math.now.sh

Don't know anything about SVG format, but width="1.294ex" doesn't look like valid Python floating point.

Those are valid SVG units, see the specs… Looks like our importer expects unit-less values here, @Sergey think you are still maintaining that add-on?
