I am having a lot of trouble getting my SVGs to display the Google font, Lato. I read similar questions about this and tried to implement what I learned. For what it's worth, the font does display on my computer (because I have the Google font installed), but it does not elsewhere.

Note, the SVG was generated by Illustrator then I changed the styling and added in the google font in the style bracket. Is something going wrong with the XML tag in the beginning?

You are simply missing font-family in the .st3 class.
It should be
.st3{font-family:'Lato', sans-serif;}
instead of
.st3{'Lato', sans-serif;}

Im currently working on a map for a Elections website The map is SVG and we need the map to be able to use stripes in 2 different colours depending on the election results.
as the results are announced the map will colour the areas i.e Red = labour for that elected area but in our case a area can have 2 Party's so we would need the map to display stripes red/blue to that area to show users the results.
Does anybody have any idea how this can be achieved?
one idea was to use the Fill colour option and overlay & image that's 50% fill colour and the other 50% transparent showing the background fill behind it , however we couldn't get the both to show
Below i have attached the code used for the map

I've seen lots of people posting this, and they all seem pretty happy with their answers.
However I cant get my path fill to actually work,
http://jsfiddle.net/OwenMelbz/LvgmV/
The fiddle is above, the svg is generated from Illustrator
HTML
<img src="http://owenmelbourne.com/arrow.svg">
CSS
img {width: 100px}
path {
fill: blue;
}
Yet I always get
The SVG Code looks like

If anybody could shed some light on the matter it would be much appreciated.

Changing the fill attribute will never work in this situation, because the image itself already has a fill. It won't be 'replaced' or 'redrawn' using the new attributes.
I also don't think this will work even if you took out the color command in the SVG file.
There's two ways to get it done.
Delete the value inside the fill attribute (fill="") and modify it via external CSS
Just change the color value inside the fill attribute.
And just to keep it nice, delete all the extra g tags, you don't need them.

Once you have no value for the fill attribute, change the color with CSS.
<style>
svg{ fill: red; }
</style>
Or the second option...
<svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"

background="new 0 0 9.334 11.881" xml:space="preserve">
<path fill="#ff0000" d="M4.159,5.942L0.202,1.884c0,0-0.609-1.032,0.288-1.641s1.471,0.118,1.471,0.118L6.29,4.877
c0,0,1.15,0.947,0.254,1.894c-0.896,0.947-3.94,4.143-3.94,4.143L2.08,11.438c0,0-0.861,0.996-1.759,0
c-0.93-1.031,0.863-2.418,0.863-2.418L4.159,5.942z"/>
</svg>
This will make it red.
Try both on your fiddle and use the one the best works for You.
Tadaaa
CSS fills, and other SVG-specific rules, won't apply to an SVG rendered with an <img> tag:
// CSS fills won't apply to this
<img src="image.svg">
You need the SVG to be rendered inline in order for CSS fills to work.
// CSS fills will apply to this

</svg>
CSS:
#Layer_1 {
fill: blue;
}
Also, you could also use Javascript to automatically convert SVG's into inline elements. However if you're dealing with a few static SVG's for an interface (e.g. your theme), it's best to just copy-paste them inline.
