Hi Tony, Opera is probably the viewer with the most complete SVG support, followed by Batik. The Adobe viewer is much less complete and then followed by Mozilla and Safari. Safari still has a few severe bugs that need to be fixed.
All of them support patterns (Firefox only in version 3) and gradients and have a useful SVG subset to do sophisticated SVG applications. This is not to say that the situation is bright, but its good enough for a lot of applications. Some of the missing features in many viewers are: SVG font support (missing in Mozilla and Safari), SMIL support (missing in Mozilla and Safari) and filters (Mozilla and Safari, a lot of them are implemented in Firefox 3).
