I tried to find out if this is fixed with latest Kartograph version ( https://github.com/kartograph/kartograph.js ) but couldn't find a demo. Does anyone know where we get updated SVG files? It seems like they are not in the kartograph project itself |

Not a big priority I would say, but would be good to look at.
