One of my lovely product managers has supplied me with a few *.SVG files to display in a static content block.

now if I refer to the image via a remote URL is displays fine, eg scr="http://path.to.some/remote/server/file.svg" displays fine , however loading the file to the local server (permissions are fine I've tripple checked) and referencing similar to scr="{{media url="wysiwyg/path/to/file/file.svg" it does not render.

is it as simple as svg's are forbidden in magento and i need to allow? or is something more sinister happening?

I had a similar situation. I was provided with an .svg file. I uploaded it to Magento 2 Admin. I tried loading it in Chrome browser and it didn't display, but in Firefox it did display. I was informed of this post Chrome Not Rendering SVG Referenced via Image Tag, and followed the advice provided by the user MintWelsh of asking the designer who provided the .svg file to open it in Adobe Illustrator and save it with Image Location set to "Embedded" instead of "Linked". I then used the modified .svg file and it loaded in both Chrome and Firefox.

Had a similar problem, but it was because my production server did not support SVG. You may need to add SVG filetype to your .htaccess file.
