For the moment, it’s not a big problem.

The issue is because the SVG you’re importing defines measurements as a string (f.e. “12px” instead of “12”).

If you want to avoid these errors, you can open the SVG with a text editor (notepad++ f.e.), and remove all the “px” references (or whatever unit is used) by yourself.
