SVG is extremely available, and extremely useful because it
allows you to scale the picture to any size you like, and retain
all of the detail.  It provides a lot more functionality than just
that, but I am sure that you can use google to discover what that
might be as well as most anyone.

To quote the wiki entry for Scalable Vector Graphics:

"All major modern web browsers—including Mozilla Firefox,
  Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera, and Safari—have
  at least some degree of SVG rendering support."

My Mozilla based browser came with full support out of the box,
so to speak.

I expect that whatever browser you are using either natively
supports SVG, or can pull in a plugin.  If not, prudence dictates
that it might be time for an upgrade... if only to gain the
benefit of the latest security patches.

Maybe.

I expect that the solver of this problem will be someone who is
flexible enough to embrace a wide variety of new techniques, and
processes.
