Editable text in Illustrator

Hi there, I'm new to QGIS and Maperitive. I wondered if there was a way to export all road /street names for a particular area as editable text in Illustrator (SVG)? I have tried using Maperitive but for some reason when I export to SVG most of the words that I can see when zoomed in in Maperitive are either lost or missing letters. IS there perhaps a mrules I could use that doesnt lose all the words? Maybe there is a way to do this is QGIS with a particular plugin or layer? Thanks for your help.
