I've updated the batik distribution that VASSAL uses so that it includes all the dependencies. Please give a test and see if you SVG maps are working now. There's no change to the VASSAL version number; just re-launch using the Web Start link (making sure it updates batik.jar) or run the InstallVASSAL.jar installer again. rk [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
