Dear Thomas, Thank you for the swift reply. I modified the code to make my factory namespace aware as follows: DocumentBuilderFactory newInstance = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); newInstance.setNamespaceAware(true); Document d = newInstance.newDocumentBuilder().parse(FILENAME); JSVGCanvas canvas = new JSVGCanvas(); canvas.setDocument(d); and that worked. I did see those comments about namespaces in the FAQ but I didn't think they applied in this case, so apologies for that.
