Thanks for the response--- but these aren't necessarily "Illustrator files". These are exogenously produced maps from our software which we would like to be able to edit with Illustrator, as well as use, as we currently do, with Adobe SVG Viewer, Apache Formatting Objects Processor, Batik, and our printing system. The main problem with the line widths seems to be Illustrator's inablity to use *relative* line widths -- "stroke-width: 3" weights the line relative to the rest of the drawing space, where as "3pt" or "3mm" or "3in", which Illustrator understands, is an absolute measurement and won't appear correctly in different sizes of the map. The user unit and pixels (which are equivalent as soon as the viewport is redefined) are key parts of the SVG specification and do not appear to be supported by Illustrator. So is there any way to specify relative line widths without breaking our other applications? And as regards to the evenodd fill algorithm, is this just not supported at all, or is there just a problem responding specificaly to the attribute, or style property? Again, Adobe's SVG viewer handles this algorithm correctly; why doesn't Illustrator? Thanks again, Alexander
