    I've been trying to load this into inkscape to convert it into png, but the text does not load. It also fails to load in other png convertors online.

    I think that feDropShadow  primitive is the problem : it isn't recognized by inkscape.  Select with objects panel (ctrl+ shoft + L) the three texts and do Filters > Remove filters.

    Then you can :

    •  rebuilt teh filter with filter editor (feDropShadow is actually a shortcut for a list of primitives as shown in link)
    • use the Filters > Shadows and Glows > Drop Shadow instead.
    • or use a blurred clone (better, apply a clone LPE to the text)

    Take a look at this in-depth tutorial about filters, by Mark.

    I'd put a blurred slightly transparent duplicated text object with an offset under the numbers as a shadow shape.

    The advantage of filters is that you can still edit the numbers.

    As a blur remains a bitmap filter, I think it's more practical to use an svg filter rather than an LPE clone on a text, and then blur it.

    A LPE is inkscape-dependant, if I don't misunderstand things (I won't display correctly on a browser, for example).

    I attached the original file with a modified filter.
