Could someone please modify the above files representing the Arms of the Diocese of Lichfield, so that they match the actual official version of the Arms recorded by the British College of Arms, as seen here and at the bottom right of this photo here (the difference being that the right half of the large cross should be gold, as should the two smaller crosses on the right side).

@Mrmw: That's great, thanks! Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 17:26, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
@Mrmw and Snow Lion Fenian: I don't think the file should be over-written in this way. This heraldrywiki page suggests that the all-red arms have a well-attested connection with the bishopric and have been used for centuries. Ditto this, which page Snow Lion Fenian cited in relation to the flag of St Margaret's, Westminster. It would seem (from the heraldrywiki page) that other variants have also appeared with more or less gold. I would say this calls for the creation of separate files, with each different arms on its own file. GPinkerton (talk) 17:45, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
@GPinkerton: and @Mrmw: Thanks for bringing that up, and sorry. With that having been said, perhaps the current files should remain looking like the officially recorded version, with separate files created for "Version 2" and "Version 3" from the Heraldry Wiki? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 17:57, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
@Snow Lion Fenian: Based on a cursory look at search results I would say that the all-red version is the one most commonly attested historically in stained glass, funeral hatchments of the bishops, etc. (See: Category:Coats of arms of See of Lichfield and The Heraldry Society image library, which has 7 episcopal funeral hachments only one of which shows the gold variant). The heraldrywiki page (are there better sources?) says "the arms are more generally seen as counterchanged, i.e. only red and silver" and "The counterchanged arms already appear on a contemporary painting of Bishop Robert Wright (1632-1643), ... and are generally used since". How accurate this is I don't know, but I think separate files should be created for the gold ones and the existing files should revert back to the all-red, per COM:CROP.
Could it be that a grant of arms attempted to differentiate the ancient arms of St Chad from the modern bishops? Or from the cathedral chapter? GPinkerton (talk) 20:20, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
@GPinkerton: Honestly, I really wouldn't know. I haven't been able to find any information on the Lichfield diocesan Arms outside of the already mentioned websites. But I'll trust your judgement on it, since you clearly have a better grasp on this subject than I do, and more knowledge of WC guidelines as well. Thanks for your input. Say, now that User:Mrmw has very helpfully reverted the original Files, and created a second set of Files for the official Arms... is there any chance you'd be able to create the Files for the third version of the Arms? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 00:16, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
@Mrmw and GPinkerton: So that's that all sorted. Many thanks to both of you for your help, in creating the files and providing input respectively. Always greatly appreciated. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 12:35, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Request for a map showing the Dublin quays and corresponding quay names

Article(s): en:Dublin quays

Request

Hi all, happy 2023. I'm looking for someone's assistance in making a map/illustration of the quays of Dublin city, Ireland to show the location of each quay along the river Liffey. At present the article Dublin quays doesn't really give any pictorial explanation of which quay is where, even though this would be the best way to present the information. There are 25 separate "quays" (see list below taken from the page en:Dublin quays). N.B. two of the quays do not have the 'quay' designation at the end of their name ( "Bachelors Walk" and "Usher's Island") but they are quays.

  • The name designations of the north roadway are (from west to east): Wolfe Tone Quay, Sarsfield Quay, Ellis Quay, Arran Quay, Inns Quay, Upper Ormond Quay, Lower Ormond Quay, Bachelors Walk, Eden Quay, Custom House Quay and North Wall Quay.
  • The name designations of the south roadway are (from west to east): Victoria Quay, Usher's Island, Usher's Quay, Merchant's Quay, Wood Quay, Essex Quay, Wellington Quay, Crampton Quay, Aston Quay, Burgh Quay, George's Quay, City Quay, Sir John Rogerson's Quay and Britain Quay.

Graphist opinion(s)

Donald Trung I have looked at your two requests here but I don't understand how I (as a graphic worker) is supposed to know what the letters should look like.

  • The sources are of to low quality.
  • The text you write here in respective request (翰林院印) doesn't look like your source.

So how do you want me/us to know? --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:44, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Goran tek-en, the text looks so radically different because it's in a different script. The source files are written in Chinese Seal script which was the script of Ancient Vietnam and kept being used formally on government seals until the 1950's, but unfortunately Unicode doesn't support it. This is because no country has officially used Chinese Seal script as a script in centuries so nobody ever bothered writing software for it, user "Babelstone" (Dr. Andrew West) told me that there was a project to encode Chinese Seal script as Unicode characters and that this project was complete, but unfortunately I've yet to encounter it in the wild. If this request is too difficult I can wait until another user has the time. Previously a few other users with knowledge of Chinese Seal script adopted these requests and did it as can be seen in the category "SVG seals of Vietnam", essentially what I want done is for these seals to be exactly re-drawn as vectorised files, please see " File:Cơ mật viện ấn (機密院印).svg ". — Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 15:52, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
I forgot to add that the displayed text is in Traditional Chinese characters, usually when you see Chinese Seal script people will write it down as if it's Traditional Chinese characters, Japanese-style Kanji, or Simplified Chinese characters, in reality that would be like pretending that Russian and English are the same language but because East Asian countries do this and there's very little interest in digitising the script this is the result that we have to work with. — Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 15:54, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
@Donald Trung So then I can't help you, sorry for "messing up" your request. It does take someone who knows Chinese Seal script and that's not me. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:30, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
For Unicode seal script, there is a list of Unicode documents at https://www.unicode.org/L2/topical/seal/
sample files from that list
Finding the corresponding characters in that document or a similar document might be helpful.
For example, the second document above maps 林 to Serial No.字序 04418
Glrx (talk) 16:58, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
@Glrx Thanks for that knowledge, it's a special one. @Donald Trung If you can link me to the different characters I still might be able to help you. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 17:26, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
Characters are 翰林院印. Corresponding serial numbers in L2/22-143 are
  1. 翰 02559
  2. 林 04418
  3. 院 05222 (no symbol shown) 10894 (close but left side has two extra strokes)
  4. 印 06566

Might be a stretch for the graphists not familiar with East Asian cultures... The seal script can be tricky to do even when you know the characters. @Donald Trung: ✓ Done -- (talk) 21:19, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Make the white text visible
So when I uploaded this image, I realized that the white text is not visible because of the white backgrounds used on various Wikiprojects which makes it impossible to read. All promotional art including this logo either uses it on a black background, or on a non-white bakground (possibly with a black dropshadow). In order for me to actually make use of this file it needs to actually be readable, otherwise it just looks like it says "Motorfest".

Request to add 2' 3" to File:Track gauge.svg

Article(s): en:List of 2 ft 3 in gauge railways

Request
Could an SVG expert add 2ft 3in (686mm) to this file, with a colour somewhere between the colours used for 600mm and 762mm please? I want to expand the lead for the list of 2 ft 3 in railways on En-wiki, and a comparison of other gauges would be helpful. Pinging @DePiep, Antonsusi, and Quibik, who have all edited this image in the past. Thanks. Voice of Clam 15:26, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)
Understandable by itself, but please note that en:Track gauge#List of defined track gauges has 252 defined gauges! To have this gauge added (to a graph of ~10) would require, IMO, that the gauge is highly relevant. For example, by great number of articles (railways applicating), or by its history. DePiep (talk) 15:35, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
@DePiep: perhaps an alternative would be to create a new image, comparing 2' 3" with other common British gauges, e.g. 1' 11.5" (Ffestiniog etc.), 2' 6" (Welshpool & Llanfair) and 4' 8.5" (standard gauge). Voice of Clam 18:02, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
I don't know how "British" gauges are defined, but in the full list, "narrow" has 92 rows (< standard gauge), and if we cut out metric-defined gauges, still dozens remain. Unfortunately we have no overview of the usage-numbers anymore (article count for given gauge 'x.y inches'). Also, I doubt the tough usefullness of the drawing involved, compared to the hard numeric gauge e.g., in a list (in which you can choopse your own entries, British and/or other). Also, some gauges may be merged as being "practicaly the same, by half inches" (enwiki task todo). Maybe this drawing is a nice illustration at best, for this (but ideally in a narrow/standard/broad describing article, if you see what I mean). All in all, the number of gauges is huge, is my concern. DePiep (talk) 18:15, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
I'm not sure if you've understood the reason for my request. I'm not asking for another arbitary gauge to be added to the file for no reason - I want a comparison between 2' 3" and other gauges specifically for the specific article I stated above. On reflection I think a new file would be better, and I've suggested the most common gauges, greater that miniature railways, used in the UK (which is where all 2' 3" railways are based AFAIK). Voice of Clam 15:23, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
@Voice of Clam I'm a graphic worker and has zero knowledge of this subject so if you request a comparison illustration because you need one I can help you.
So should we do a new image according to "comparing 2' 3" with other common British gauges, e.g. 1' 11.5" (Ffestiniog etc.), 2' 6" (Welshpool & Llanfair) and 4' 8.5" (standard gauge)"? --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:51, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

 Request taken by --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 15:32, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

@Voice of Clam: You can do this in so many different ways but here we have a couple of gauges close to each other so I think this is good way to show it.

Help unbaking text in SVG files

Request
I would like to be able to translate the labels in these SVG files into Inari Sámi so we can use them on the Inari Sámi wp, but this is not possible because the text is baked into the files. In addition, the text will be translated into two other Sámi languages for use on Wikimedia projects. On a more global basis, this would also be useful for other contributors who would like to use these in their own language on their own Wikipedia. This would require the text labels in these files to be unbaked first though. Takkâ! :) --Yupik (talk) 09:00, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 17:07, 2 January 2023 (UTC) Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 19:06, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)
 Comment @Snow Lion Fenian: I think these are not the flags of the cathedral as such, but banners of arms of the bishops themselves. Presumably, they fly to indicate the prelate is there. The cathedral (or its corporation or chapter or whatever) ought to fly the diocesan flag intended for all churches in that bishop's territory: the English cross with the episcopal arms inescutcheoned in the canton. Since copies of the diocesan flags exist already, it might be better to request a full complement of episcopal banners of arms, rather than focusing on individual cathedral churches. GPinkerton (talk) 19:53, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
@GPinkerton: Well, I'm not sure these are supposed to be episcopal banners of arms, considering that neither of the arms/flags in the links match the look of the actual COAs of the Diocese of Peterborough and the Diocese of Southwark. Or am I interpreting your response wrongly? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 22:20, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
@Snow Lion Fenian: I didn't make clear the difference between the arms of the diocese and the arms of the incumbent bishop (or of some significant predecessor). Could the arms in the flag belong to the bishop personally rather than to the see? How are we identifying the flags with the cathedrals as such? GPinkerton (talk) 22:46, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
@GPinkerton: Well, regarding Southwark Cathedral, this post here (from the Cathedral's FB page) does confirm the arms in the previous link as those of Southwark Cathedral itself. Though I'll try and get back to you regarding Peterborough Cathedral at some point. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 02:36, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
@GPinkerton: Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. So here's an article (from the Peterborough Cathedral website) that confirms the flag in question as that of Peterborough Cathedral itself. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 15:55, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
@Snow Lion Fenian: No problem. The Southwark Cathedral Facebook post is especially helpful. GPinkerton (talk) 17:23, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
 Not done. I found these patterns to be above the British TOO. Please show evidence that these flags belong to the public domain in the UK, or that they can be assembled using elements already in the public domain. (talk) 17:35, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
@: I've managed to locate a few SVG templates that I think could be used in the creation of these files, provided above. Thoughts? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 01:57, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
@Snow Lion Fenian:
  • The Southwark Cathedral one looks good; I should be able to do it.
  • The Peterborough ones — the flag design from those images you provided look quite different from the design of Peterborough's Coat of Arms. And the two SVG assets you managed to locate appear to suit the Coat of Arms better. In this case, I might be able to generate a {{Fake insignia}}, but only for the coat of arms. It might be better if you upload them under fair use, for the sake of historical accuracy (fake logo on Wikipedia is going to spread far, no matter what disclaimers we put). Have you considered emailing the Peterborough Cathedral and asking about the use of their flags (or when it was created)? (talk) 01:21, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
@: Thanks for your advice. I'll certainly take on board what you said about the proper way to acquire information about the Peterborough emblems. In the meantime, perhaps it would be better to only focus on the Southwark emblems this time, while I save the Peterborough emblems for a separate request sometime in the future, after I've managed to find out more.

and text converted to curves in a following visible group. Another following group has invisible numbered regions converted to curves (aka path text).

The text could be made visible, and the path text could be removed.

The font specification should be font-family="DejaVu Sans" and font-weight="bold". When condensed is used, include font-stretch="condensed" and the transform x-scale should be 1 rather than 0.8. Glrx (talk) 20:32, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

However, hidden text seems to be a standard practice of Category:SVG labeled maps of administrative divisions (location map scheme). Glrx (talk) 20:59, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
Sorry for the delayed reply. Thank you very much for pointing this out in a way that even I could understand it! This will help me fix future maps too :) -Yupik (talk) 11:12, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
@Yupik:
For me, I want to see maps (and other diagrams) use text elements rather than converting text to curves. Curves cannot be translated. However, I know that WMF is using a very old SVG rasterizer that also cannot paint text along a path -- something maps often need for rivers and mountain ranges. Given the uniform group naming in the category, the conversion of text to curves may also be an automatic operation.
I also want fonts to be specified using separate properties and use fallback families. However, I'm not sure how much support Adobe Illustrator or other graphics editors provide for those properties. I believe all but Inkscape view SVG as an output or exchange format. It would be awkward if the person who originally edited the file could not read it back into his editor. Furthermore, font naming and matching varies on different platforms, and I do not understand the ramifications.
I'd like to see the entire category improved, but there may be good reasons for the uploaders to have done what they did.

Hi! I made a previous request here a few months back to vectorize a few raster files. While two were deleted due to copyright violations, these two were not. However, the request was archived before it was ever fulfilled. I am resubmitting this request in the hopes that these may be vectorized. Thank you! --OrdinaryJosh (talk) 07:25, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
Adding on an additional few if that’s alright. Thank you so much! --OrdinaryJosh (talk) 21:50, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

@OrdinaryJosh: where is Brightline West's logo currently used? I couldn't find any official source to support that design. I did see this different logo arrangement painted on the front of the train, where I derived the SVG above. Designism (talk) 18:54, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
@ That's a good question. I haven't noticed this discrepancy until you pointed this out to me just now. From what I see, the sources which use the raster file's variant of the logo design is a bit dubious, and it's quite hard to find any official sources using this variant. However, they do however use a color-swapped version of this variant as both their Twitter and LinkedIn profile pictures. This variant but not color-swapped is seen as well as in this tweet they retweeted, as well as in this report they published. The train renderings are also provided by them, but are also subject to change. Either way, it's hard to say which variant to use since they haven't been clear on which one they prefer. I personally lean towards the raster file's variant, but I also think both are fine, and if need be we could maybe swap it eventually if one is preferred then. --OrdinaryJosh (talk) 05:53, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
@OrdinaryJosh: Sounds good. I have made and uploaded both logo variants to Commons. --Designism (talk) 15:37, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Request
Details of your request go here… I would like to request a new image be created based on "File:Vietnamese-style seal of the Government-General of French Indochina.svg", but with a Greek key border pattern and if possible thicker characters being used.
It should, by preference, be called "File:Vietnamese-style seal of the Government-General of French Indochina with meander.svg" and it can have the same information as the currently existing SVG.

@Edera1970: I have completed most of your request.
  • For all house flags, I extracted the color from their logo images or the theme color used on their website. I have left the source URLs of these colors on each file's description page.
  • MSC appears to have two variations of their flags, a blue and a white. ref
  • Costa Crociere: the link you provided returned 403 "forbidden", so I sniffed around the internet and found this.
  • Holland America Line's image is too complex and is above the threshold of originality. You will have to upload those under fair use on each Wikimedia project, not on Commons. --Designism (talk) 03:29, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
@: first of all, thank you for your work. Regarding the Costa flag, as you can see here, the "C" should be slighty bigger, so if you could fix it a bit (maybe even in the colors) it would be perfect. --Edera1970 (talk) 11:59, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Ukrainian general staff brigade insignia

This section was archived on a request by: Designism (talk) 03:37, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Article(s): 101st Brigade for the Protection of the General Staff

Request
Please make a new SVG file for the insignia of the Ukrainian 101st Brigade for the Protection of the General Staff based on the design of the sleeve insignia and the modern cap badge.
The present file leaves much to be desired and is not representative of what the insignia actually looks like, in contrast to most of our comparable files for other brigades. Images of the present-day sleeve insignia in use can be seen here in full colour and low-visibility variants. (Close-up of the patch here; of the real cap-badge here.) A simplified greyscale design appears on their Facebook here. The existing coat of arms image also lacks the brickwork background. GPinkerton (talk) 18:01, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

@GPinkerton: Actually, when I look at this flag image, the correct insignia should not include any brick pattern? -- (talk) 17:43, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
@: Hi, that looks great! I think a flag from 2014 shouldn't override what we see in the sleeve patches themselves, especially as Ukrainian military heraldry has been revolutionized over the course of the Russo-Ukrainian War. What I was hoping to see was a more simplistic design which would be basically two-dimensional like the sleeve patch shield. Something like File:81 ОАеМБр к.svg or File:1 ОТБр.svg by Inkscape'r. The helmet looks much better now, but I'd like to see a simple shield with flatter rendering of the poleaxes and gauntlet which you have done a great job in vectorizing.

@GPinkerton: I see that these files are actively in use across a few Wikimedia projects. Given that it has been over 2 months since you last replied to this thread, I am marking this as done. --Designism (talk) 03:37, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
@ and VileGecko: Thanks all, good work. I'm not sure the text label with ZSU on it is entirely necessary, but it's much better than before. GPinkerton (talk) 13:05, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
The tab was used before the 2019 wave of military unit insignia rebranding. As the 101st Brigade's patch was essentialy a proper coat of arms since 2008 it was just modified a bit recently to fit into the new unit patch scheme. In short: the tab was used pre-2019 and is dropped now. If a unit chooses a motto for itself a completely new tab with the motto may appear sometime in the future but there isn't one now. VileGecko (talk) 13:43, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
@VileGecko: maybe it (the tab) should be removed from our images, since it's not specific to this brigade. GPinkerton (talk) 20:40, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
@GPinkerton: I'd rather leave it with the tab or alternatively upload a separate version without the tab. While the text on the tab indeed is just "Armed Forces of Ukraine" I don't think I've ever seen any other units wearing this tab. Also should be noted that while modern motto tabs are worn immediately adjacent to the shield or even embroidered on the same piece of cloth this older 101st Brigade tab has been worn significantly higher than the main patch, an example: Файл:Федорченко Вадим Олександрович.jpg. VileGecko (talk) 11:53, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
@VileGecko: to me that sounds like an argument for removing it: its appearance is misleading if the tab was/is meant to be so far from the shield and invites confusion with those units which actually do have something just above the shield (like the 24th mechanized or the 44th artillery brigade). For most brigades, just the shield alone is used and it would be good to have an equivalent file for the 101st; the tab means the whole image is larger and the shield therefore smaller and more indistinct. The whole idea is of course that the shield alone, at first glance, tells you a soldier's affiliation. I think the same rule holds good for infoboxes and the like.

Please modify labels in this French svg so I can translate it : Organisation juridictionnelle nationale fr.svg

Article(s): en:French law, en:French criminal law, en:Administrative law, and others.

Request
Can someone please make the text in File:Organisation juridictionnelle nationale fr.svg accessible, so I can use the toolforge translate tool to create an English version of it? Thanks! --Mathglot (talk) 21:32, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
As a secondary (optional) issue: this diagram has a very wide aspect ratio, and even at full screen width, the labels on the left starting with 'Chambre...' or 'Cour...' are in very tiny print, and hard to read. If the two large boxes left/right were vertically stretched a bit (maybe 25% higher? see what looks good), then that would leave enough room to double the height of the wide, skinny row containing 'Chambre sociale' (under the orange, 'Cour de cassation' row) and make the font bigger. Same thing with the row under the orange, 'Cour d'appel' row, and under the yellow, 'Tribunal judiciaire' row. The labels in the blue boxes on the right seem wordier, and I'm not sure if stretching them vertically would leave enough room to increase the font size, but if you can see a way to do it somehow, that would be great. But this is definitely secondary, and just making the labels accessible for the translation tool, is sufficient.Mathglot (talk) 21:58, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Still interested in this, as it will be useful on additional articles where the diagram is being used, or will be used, as we build out the poor coverage of French law in English Wikipedia. Just to be clear about this: I will do all the actual translation of labels into English using the toolforge tool; I just need the svg to be adjusted to make the addition of new labels by the tool possible in the first place, because right now it's blocked.

Request
I would like to ask someone to help make a svg file of this emblem. The color of the emblem in Commons looks dark, while according to another photograph I found outside Commons, the colour is brighter: The pattern of grass is in green, for example. So please refer to the external image when you are working on it. Only the triangular emblem is required, the Chinese characters below is not needed in the svg file.

@源義信: when was the school emblem originally designed? Who is the designer, and in which year did they die, if applicable? I am looking for evidence to show that the emblem design falls in the public domain in Taiwan, as the design is above their threshold of originality. --Designism (talk) 03:18, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
@: Thank you for your question.
According to the information I found, this school emblem was used between 1927 and 1941 (奉化教育志, 2003).
Then, this school was established in the Republic of China in 1920s and was dissolved in 1949. The present Wuling School in the People's Republic of China can be regarded as its successor, which uses a similarly designed emblem (can be found here), so I believe the law of the People's Republic of China rather than the law of Taiwan applies to it.
Finally, under the law of the People's Republic of China, this anonymous (and maybe collective work) was created in 1927, which means that it has entered the public domain, and is also a work in the public domain under U.S. law. The author of the emblem is not given; Chiang Kai-shek did approve the work as the school's emblem, but he is not the author.
As a conclusion, {{PD-China-expired}} can be used as a suitable permission here. 源義信 (talk) 04:50, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

@TilmannR - When there is no x= specified for a tspan node, how do you determine what to put in? I was trying to apply the same thing you did to a sister file: File:Gene_structure_prokaryote_2_annotated.svg but e.g. the text "5’UTR" has no x or y defined for the <text> and the <tnode> specifies x="0" y="0", so I don't understand how the position is being determined for that element! T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 00:27, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
@Evolution and evolvability:
The x and y values default to zero; the position is set with the transform attribute to be x=452.76, y=448.6, and y axis inverted (the y axis was inverted higher up, so this inversion undoes the previous inversion).

The text-anchor and text-align should be middle rather than start to center the text, but that means the x position needs to move to the center of the space rather than the start of the text.

Howard crest error: the lion's tail

This section was archived on a request by: Designism (talk) 17:06, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Article(s): Earl of Carlisle

Request
Hello! This image is already in use but there's an error in the depiction of the Earl of Carlisle's coat of arms: the lion's tail in the crest is supposed to be straight, extending towards the sinister rather than curling upwards. This is according to the blazon (see linked article) as well as depictions such as here and here. (The image's creator hasn't been active other than for a short period in 2017, so I thought I'd ask here.)
I actually see the same error with the arms of the Duke of Norfolk – another branch of the Howard family – of which the middle crest is the same as Carlisle's but without the latter's mullet (star) that was added for differentiation. See here for an example. --Waltham, The Duke of 21:41, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Article(s): replacing File:Coat of arms of Brazil.svg e.g. in en:Brazil

Request
Please, could a graphist make a SVG file for the Coat of arms of Brazil based on this new official design?
the Brazilian official government released not long ago an extremely detailed "official" version on the design of the Coat of Arms on its website. It's the result of an extensive study based on heraldic conventions and the text of the original Law that established it.
Colours are #007fff (sky blue), #ffd700 (gold), #d5d5d5 (silver), #00800 (green), #2a6332 (leaf green), #ff0000 (red), #ffb6c1 (pink), #5d1113 (coffee red), and #0000ff (blue). The typography is Triumvirate CG Inserat (REPÚBLICA FEDERATIVA DO BRASIL - 15 de Novembro de 1889).

@Hookko27: ✓ Done, I downloaded an SVG version of this new design from their website there already exist an SVG version on Commons, but I do not have the right to overwrite the existing file version. Considering that this might be a significant change, you may want to request an admin to move the older file to a new name, such as "coat of arms of Brazil (19xx)", and move the new file to the current name "coat of arms of brazil", to avoid having to replace files everywhere. --Designism (talk) 18:52, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

That might, unfortunately, be the norm on Commons — look at Category:Commons protected edit requests; there are even requests from 2 years ago 🙃. I suspect that there is a mix of bystander effects and that a lot of admins don't know SVG well enough (and are afraid of these requests). But edit requests are beyond what we at graphic labs can do.

@Minorax:

I reduced the Gaussian blur on the main star elements from 0.4 to 0.14, but I'm not happy. Reducing the blur also sharpens the star's ridge line. There are other issues. The joints do not line up (e.g., the inner joint at about 8 o'clock; the tip joint at 7 o'clock was so bad that the file has a band aid painted over it).

Feel free to revert.

The personal coat of arms of the Khải Định Emperor

Article(s): Vietnamese heraldry related articles.

Request:

A couple of years ago I requested the creation of the SVG of the coat of arms of the Nguyễn Dynasty and the personal coat of arms of the Bảo Đại Emperor, several heraldic sources I consulted at the time claimed that the Khải Định Emperor had a coat of arms identical to his son's but with his name on it, but I simply had never seen it as there is a lot of documentary evidence for the Bảo Đại Emperor's coat of arms online but I hadn't seen the Khải Định Emperor's coat of arms anywhere. Well, apparently it was staring me right in the face.
The inscription in the middle of the scroll reads "啟定" (Khải Định) written top-to-bottom and the inscription on the sides of the scroll read "大南皇帝" (Đại Nam Hoàng đế) written right-to-left, so it would be depicted as "帝皇南大".
Additionally, a number of clouds surround this dragon, which makes it different from his son's coat of arms. Preferably the end result would include a number of clouds like the seal.

 Question this flag looks like an old banner of arms, but this article suggests the flag was designed by Graham Bartram (@GrahamPadruig: ). Is there any more information available? GPinkerton (talk) 21:11, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
@GPinkerton: Well, from what I've gathered, the cross-impaling-the-dragon's-head is indeed part of the arms attributed to Saint Margaret of Antioch (if you go on this page here, and scroll down to the "Arms Associated With Saints" section, and then on to the part about "St Margaret of Antioch", you'll see what I mean), but not the crowned portcullis. Which leads me to believe that it was indeed Graham Bartram who designed the modern flag of the COSM, and that it was his decision to add the crowned portcullis onto what is otherwise (as you said) a banner of arms. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 02:19, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
@Snow Lion Fenian: That is very helpful. I suppose the first step would be a vectorization of the dragon's head arms of St Margaret, after which it will be easy to make up the flag and possibly the various Norfolk arms associated with it. GPinkerton (talk) 17:25, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Help on Coat of Arms

This section was archived on a request by: Designism (talk) 19:36, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Hey there, I'm working on some heraldry regarding Dukedoms which don't have their Coat of Arms completed. I created the Duke of Bedford here: . I was wondering anyone would be able to help me out and give some assistance, if able that would be amazing! Cheers, Coldstreamer20 (talk) 20:49, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

Graphist opinion
@Coldstreamer20: While I am by no means a heraldric expert, I noticed a few places where I think your COA can be fairly easily improved:
  1. There are some color mismatches, given the blazon provided in the file description.
    1. For the crest, you have "A goat statant argent, armed and unguled or." So the horn and the hoofs of the animal shall be gold, not green.
    2. The supporter "Dexter, a lion rampant gules", but you are using a golden lion. Maybe you will want to reuse the lion on the shield?
    3. The other supporter "sinister, a goat argent, armed unguled and bearded or." I don't know if this means the beard also needs to be colored gold.
  2. The crest goat also appears to be using a different art style. I did not find any good goat with a similar art style (the "sodacan" style, as the art almost always goes back to some creation of user:sodacan), So I drew you one — see above.
  3. There appears to be a mix of different line weights. The dexter side supporter lion as well as the lion on the shield appears to have a heavier line weight than the rest of your image. So is the center gem piece on the crest under the helmet.
  4. For the motto, you need to convert your text to shape, or Mediawiki will render the text in a default font, which causes the PNG thumbnail preview to look strange.
Good luck and have fun. --Designism (talk) 02:14, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Article(s): [[]], to be the logo of the new "Quality imports" system at the Wikimedia Commons.

Request
I would like to request the creation of the logo of the new "Quality imports" system which was approved by consensus back in 2022, as I'd like to create the page for this new system I'd like to request for a better logo to be created for this. I combined two (2) elements to make the concept logo above which I included in my village pump proposal, but as I had already written there I'd like for the colours to be reversed.
The reason for these choices is because green is usually associated with "good" and as the arrow pointing downwards is supposed to symbolise the act of downloading it (from an external source) the green arrow is supposed to indicate "a good download". Meanwhile the red seal is supposed to make it more easily differentiated from the green logo of "Quality images". If the WikiGraphist taking on this request thinks that red is an "unfriendly" colour towards those suffering from colour blindness it could also be made gold 🪙 or another more neutral colour.
If there are any further questions I'd like to hear them. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 11:04, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)

@Donald Trung: This is what you described:

But your proposed program is called quality import. The word "import" is typically associated with an up arrow, similar to an upload arrow, so I made this:

Reading your comments at Village Pump, it sounds to me that the Quality Import program is more for people who find valuable and high quality scans, so I am spitballing these ideas around a "scan" theme

All of these have been grouped under cat:Proposals for Quality Imports logo--Designism (talk) 19:25, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

, Very creative with the scan-based motifs, I will just add one to the draft and then I'll open up a conversation once the project is launched. I'll probably launch it soon and then I'll ask help in the Village pump from other contributors, including help with picking out a logo. I do think that perhaps multiple categories can be created in the future, as the conversation just showed support for the creation of this new system but there was no general outline, only a vague concept. Thank you very much for adding more categories as I didn't even think of those possibilities. -- — Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 19:39, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
By the way, what I meant with proposing gold I meant a golden seal of approval with either a red of green arrow, this is because red may be seen as "wrong", but it must look distinctive enough from the current Quality images logo. -- — Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 19:41, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

@Eurohunter: I cannot speak for Mrmw, but most graphists here use Inkscape for SVG. I personally use Adobe Illustrator. You can read about software recommendations on the home page of Commons:Graphic Lab. --Designism (talk) 03:48, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

@Mrmw: Please see the question above. @Eurohunter: With regarding to the image size, it is entirely dependent on the image author. SVGs can be scaled arbitrarily large or small, so their "nominal" sizes (you can interpret that as the default size used in MediaWiki's SVG preview) do not matter.

Parliamentary system
Request
Please colour Greenland in red, it's not an uninhabited void but has a clear political system. -- Gryffindor (talk) 21:56, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
Discussion
If you feel so inclined you can revert the most recent edit of the file which removed color from Greenland. Auguel (talk) 22:12, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
@Gryffindor: , Greenland is an overseas territory, the justification given by user "ICommandeth" was "Removed color for Greenland since it is an overseas territory, much like the Faroe Islands which aren't colored in", which seems quite accurate as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (United States of America) and New Caledonia (Republic of France) also aren't coloured in. As far as I know Greenland isn't an associated state of the Kingdom of Denmark but a regular overseas territory like the aforementioned, so as far as I can tell this move makes sense.
Personally I think that overseas territories should be the same colour as their owners, but as this is not the case this is simply more consistent. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 07:31, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)
  •  Comment, after looking at the nature of the request this isn't actually a request for anything graphical, likewise none of the people concerned commented on this request and the dispute doesn't really seem like something a WikiGraphist seems to be needed for, rather this is a content dispute based on a change of an earlier version, such discussions are usually held on the talk page of the concerned file or the user talk pages of the concerned parties, for this reason I'm tagging this section as "Resolved" as nothing that requires the technical expertise of a WikiGraphist is required here making this request out of scope for this page. Note that this was moved from another website (the English-language Wikipedia) here because it was out of scope there as well, the scope of this discussion should be the aforementioned discussion places and not a place to request graphics and novel graphical changes that require skills beyond pushing the "Revert" button. For this reason I'm also tagging it for immediate archiving (based on the date of the last "involved" comment) as a novice user may see this request and think that this is the place to request reverts of file versions. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 19:07, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

the current file needs to be reversed, ie the white should be black and black should be white. The border should just be a solid black line. The background outside the shield should be transparent.
I have tried doing this with free online tools, but while I can get the colours reversed, I cannot then get rid of the background created by the tool. Clearly I lack the skills/knowledge... Peacemaker67 (talk) 00:05, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)
@Peacemaker67: are you sure, have a look at the other files with same style, what are your references?
The references for 21st SS are Littlejohn and Keegan (both reliable and used in the en 21st SS article). All those ones you've included in the gallery appear wrong in various ways, I have no idea why someone did that. For example, Littlejohn shows the 13th SS sword in solid white on a black background, not as an outline of the sword filled in in black per our file, and the 7th SS Odal rune is outlined in black on a white field in Littlejohn, filled in with white. Basically they are a mess. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (talk) 09:56, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

@Peacemaker67: dont know what you want to do - in general: you only can update files with same file-type (.svg, .png, ...) - its easy to get a raster-file (png, jpg, ...) from a vector-file (svg) - if you want to get a vector-file from a raster-file you need somebody who create this file (drawing, coding, tracing ...) - as i told, especially in this case, you shouldnt overwrite existing files, because content differs - instead of overwrite files, upload png-files and ask here for vectorization --Mrmw (talk) 10:17, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Font bug on preview mode

Article(s):

Request
Hi there, was told to go here for assistance, there is a font bug appearing on my images which I can't seem to get rid of nor fix for some of my images. Either it appears on the file on an actual article page or in (predominately) the preview mode, that meaning the file page, of the Wikimedia file, but when clicking on the actual SVG itself it goes away. Files are taken and saved directly from Excel after creating, tried updating that to see if that was the problem but seemingly has not changed a thing. Appears generally on certain file resolutions of the preview to which the font bugs out for some reason.
Tried using Inkscape to correct on these 2 examples by slightly altering the position of the text, sometimes this works, for example here and here, in most cases but in this example it doesn't on the preview and is bugging me out. Any help which can be provided is appreciated. Thanks, Tweedle (talk) 15:19, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)
@Tweedledumb2: ✓ Done MediaWiki uses their default font to render sans serif fonts, despite you exported your text as Arial. Usually there's no problem with it, but in the case of Australian and foreign born population pyramid in 2021.svg, the caption text was broken into three segments by your software:
<!-- This is an oversimplification -->

<text ...>Australian and foreign born</text>
<text ...></text>
<text ...>2021</text>

You can see the problem in your original SVG at around line 1578. To fix this, you need to edit the source SVG code with a text editor and merge the three <text> into one:

<text ...>Australian and foreign born  2021</text>

which I have already done for you. --Designism (talk) 04:31, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

This is quite a large request, but I think that it might be better to create a single large request than to "spam" this page with a dozen requests in separate sections. I'm planning on fully covering the imperial government of the Nguyễn Dynasty on Wikipedia and I am planning on adding SVG versions of their seals to their infoboxes, but as there are quite some ministries I made a list of the most important seals which I wanted to have vectorised. File names should correspond to the inscription found on the seal, which I wrote down next to the image for your convenience.
Currently, most of these ministries are already covered at the Vietnamese-language Wikipedia to some extent. So there is immediate application after vectorisation.

@Donald Trung: ✓ Done. The strokes in Tài chính and Tư pháp seals were quite hard for even a native speaker to guess, so I cannot guarantee their accuracy. Designism (talk) 22:19, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
Wow, thank you they all look awesome. I understand that those seals were hard to guess, the main issue lies with the Vietnamese National Archives not releasing high quality scans of old documents to either the internet or to use in books 📚. The book where I got those images from also has some scans of seals of questionable quality, maybe they simply didn't invest in high quality scanners or they simply scanned the images at the lowest resolution. Anyhow, these are essentially all the seals I need (well, there's another one on my wife's laptop that I didn't have the time to upload yet, but I'll make a new request when I have the time).

Namibian coat of arms

Request
Regarding the coat of arms of Namibia
According to the blazon specified in Act 1 of 1990, the African fish eagle should be "a Fish Eagle rising, wings elevated and displayed, proper." The current version of the eagle does not match the description.

Looking at several heraldry wiki's I found some interesting results, namely:
But I couldn't find an official government image as the one in the passport isn't coloured in, nor any parliamentary images. Most websites simply "copy Wikipedia" so we need an official government source to back this up. Blue lions don't exist either, but the English "national" football team uses them.

Please create an alternative version File:Flag map of Zimbabwe.svg with the former flag of Rhodesia (1964–1968), thx. ColorfulSmoke (talk) 20:39, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)

 Question Plz, describe more detail what you mean "with the former"?

@Bazylevnik0: I'm fairly sure that @ColorfulSmoke: is merely referring to the fact that the 1964–1968 Rhodesian flag is an historical flag. Sure, given that Rhodesia no longer exists as a nation (being now called Zimbabwe and all), all the national flags it ever had would technically be "historical" as well, but you get the idea. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 00:10, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

 Question Not really get, do you mean: task is make Flag map of Zimbabwe(colors, lines,star, picture) with form(map) of Rhodesia?

@Bazylevnik0: I'm quite certain the User wants a new map created, one that has the shape of modern Zimbabwe, but is coloured in with the elements (Union Jack, sky blue background and coat of arms) of the 1964–1968 Rhodesian flag. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 12:40, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

✓ Done  Question

@Bazylevnik0: Nice work. Although I think the User would probably prefer it to look more like this example here, albeit with a sky blue background instead of a dark blue background. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 16:18, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

The official coat of arms of Jamaica is now out of copyright, so we can vectorize the government image. The color of the motto ribbon should be a light red (but not too pink) fading to white fading to the same light red. The ribbon in the crest should be silver and golden yellow.

Voivodeship road signs in Poland

This section was archived on a request by: Designism (talk) 17:22, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Article(s): en:Voivodeship road and individual voivodeship road articles

Request

There is a problem in Category:Diagrams of Voivodeship road signs of Poland—the height in all images is 270, but widths are different everywhere. It makes them look bad in articles when used next to each other. I suggest that the dimensions be standardized, as in Category:Diagrams of national road signs of Poland. Sometimes (as in image 1), the font also needs fixing.
I managed to find some suggested dimensions in official specifications.[1] For middle-sized signs, height is always at 270, but width is not specified directly (in the example at page 468, the dimensions are about 524 × 270, but that may be different for other road numbers). 2:1 width-to-height ratio was suggested,[2] which in my opinion would be decent.

Hi, please retouch the Sun of May to this standard face keeping the original yellow and brown colors. The face should be brown in color like in this image Thanks. --Accuratelibrarian (talk) 04:28, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)
The source you linked to is non-official and likely unreliable. So I don't think the sun should be retouched. 24.12.3.153 21:13, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
The sun on official flags is this one. Although it is not an official source, it resembles the face on the source I linked more than the current one. Accuratelibrarian (talk) 11:49, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
@Accuratelibrarian: There are two major differences between what's on Commons and what's present on the "vexilla-mundi.com" website:
  • the reflective eyes
  • The color of the sun rays, whether they are half brown/half yellow or full yellow
The two flag photos provided both appear to have (1) non-reflective eyes and (2) half brown/half yellow rays, unlike what's provided on the "vexilla-mundi.com" website.
That said, I was not able to find a proper high-definition flag image from any official Uruguay website (I don't speak Spanish). Two relatively reliable sources, Britannica and CIA Factbook, disagree with each other.

If you look closely, specially in the first and last pictures, you will notice that the eyes are reflective. I think the issue has to be with the quality of the print.

Flag of Swat

Request
Please correct the existing file showing the old flag of the kingdom of Swat from present-day Pakistan. [26] Here is a photo of this flag from a private local museum. The brick layout and colors need to be changed. The green background should be darker, but not as much as in the picture, but [27]. Don't make a new file, just upload the new version to the existing one so that it will automatically change on all pages where it is used.

Looking at the (which looks more like ) and then looking at the image "File:Lễ công (禮工) seal.svg" and I think that they are largely identical, though the "礻" looks slightly different.

Namely the Lễ công (禮工) looks like this:

X  XXX  X 
X       X

XXXXXXXXX

While the Lễ nghi (禮儀) version looks more like this:

Article(s): (the articles which currently use that file, e.g. pl:Ludwik VIII Lew)

Request
As noted here, there seems to be an issue with the ?code? of this SVG, or perhaps the conversion of it to PNG by the software. When I view File:Azure semé-de-lys or.svg / [28], it is not semé-de-lis (like File:Arms of the Kings of France (France Ancien).svg is), but instead only shows two flowers in pale at the bottom of the image. (This is true in both Firefox and Chrome.) If I use this link to reach the image, however, the field is properly semé-de-lis. Is this an issue with the SVG code, which could be fixed here, or an image with e.g. the wiki software which might need a phabricator request...? -sche (talk) 20:48, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)
So, it looks to me like the problem here is that this image has <use> elements that themselves reference <use> elements, and the renderer Wikimedia uses can't handle that easily, even though many other renderers can. I don't know if this is a known issue, but I'll investigate making the code more Wikimedia-renderer friendly and check it in svgcheck.toolforge.org before reuploading.

Odd issue with text display

Article(s): None, Wikimedia Commons meta-space.

Request
  • I tried to make concept logos for the "Commons Gazette" newsletter and while they appeared as I want to in Inkscape, they display very oddly after uploading, now if you actually open the file it does display correctly, so I don't know why the preview looks so odd.
It's weird, if I open the above link (that is the full SVG) on my wife's laptop the file displays correctly, but if I do it on my mobile telephone I get the same odd-looking version, earlier I got some advice from user "Great Brightstar" and applied it in Inkscape but it didn't seem to have helped with these files. So, on some devices it does display correctly if you open the file and on others it doesn't. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 08:39, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

The text is rendered with

    <text
       xml:space="preserve"
       style="font-size:29.6359px;line-height:1.25;font-family:Arial;-inkscape-font-specification:Arial;stroke-width:0.347295"

         sodipodi:role="line"
         id="tspan2107"
         style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:29.6359px;font-family:'Old English Text MT';-inkscape-font-specification:'Old English Text MT';stroke-width:0.347295"
         x="51.73251"
         y="55.397377">Commons Gazette</tspan></text>

That SVG wants the font "Old English Text MT" (the font is on my Win 11 machine). You and your wife probably have that font on your computers but not on your phones.

If you want that exact font, then convert the text to curves.

In addition, the Commons logo is stretched vertically.

Glrx (talk) 15:29, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

Also, the text in images 4 and 5 should be centered rather than left aligned. Glrx (talk) 15:56, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
Perhaps converting text to paths will solve it (there’s a tool in Inkscape to do this by the way) 24.12.3.153 14:50, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
Glrx, How can I find the text rendered in an SVG? And how can I edit it? — Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 21:14, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
@Donald Trung:
Didn't you make the images in Inkscape? You can edit the text in Inkscape. That should include left/center/right alignment. When satisfied, you can convert the text to paths with an Inkscape command I'm not an Inkscape user -- when I've downloaded it, IT deletes the application from my laptop.
However, the Commons circle needs to be fixed in some of the diagrams. I suspect it was stretched when the text was stretched to make a condensed font.
Glrx (talk) 21:31, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
Glrx, I use Inkscape on my wife's laptop (which she uses for work and a supplementary education) so I only have limited access to it so I usually consult YouTube whenever I try using it as I can't really practise using it on my phone. In fact, I am not sure if there are ways to edit SVG's on a mobile device. For whatever reason I cannot open existing files in Inkscape, I can only open a new document from pre-selected sizes and models and then try to import existing SVG's to edit them there. This is why the Wikimedia Commons logo looks stretched, as when I import the document I have to completely re-size it to fit one of the models Inkscape pre-selected for me to use, once I've moved a file to another folder I cannot re-open it, so I would likely have to manually re-do every file trying to remember what model sizes I used for each file.
I also have a pirated version of Adobe Photoshop which could open existing files, so I'll likely try to fix it using this software, or would you recommend that I should try to fix it using Inkscape? Judging from the above I just need to convert the path. -- — Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 21:57, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
Also the laptop 💻 I use it also a Microsoft Windows 11 computer, the phone I use has Google Android, I assume that phones generally speaking have less fonts. For example "𠊛艚農" appears as boxes on my phone as well, despite working perfectly on Win11. Too bad that the thumbnail doesn't just render it without the need of the device displaying it to also have that font. -- — Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 22:00, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
I am not sure if there are ways to edit SVG's on a mobile device. – SVGs are can be human-readable, so you can go hardcore and just type them directly into a mobile code editor. A lot of people on commons seem to actually do this because it produces smaller and sometimes more maintainable files. SmallJarsWithGreenLabels (talk) 22:33, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
@Donald Trung:
I am not sure what to say.
Editing on a phone is probably unreasonable. I do not know of any graphics editing application for a phone. Text editing on a phone is awkward.
Text editing SVG can be done for very simple shapes. I do it on a laptop, but text editing is not suitable for converting text to paths. Text editing SVG or XML also needs substantial skill. One wrong character can make the file misbehave. Changing an attribute will not have any effect if that attribute is overridden by a CSS property. Changing a CSS property will not affect elements that have set that property in a style attribute.
Inkscape is a reasonable graphics editor for Commons, but it has some interesting behaviors.
SVG has a primitive (textLength) for setting the length of a text string, but the current WMF rasterizer does not support that feature.
The stretched Commons logos are probably better fixed by recopying/redrawing them rather than trying to reverse the scaling.
SVG files are simplest when they do not depend on a particular font and its font metrics. Making SVG files work with generic fonts needs some skill and may be impossible with Adobe Illustrator.
I guess that all boils down to borrow your wife's laptop and learn how to use Inkscape. You should be able to open existing SVG files in Inkscape; perhaps an Inkscape user can explain how to do that here.
Glrx (talk) 19:05, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
Glrx, that all makes a lot of sense. I think that I will provisionally convert them to PNG and I'll try to fix the SVG versions later (as PNG doesn't have display issues). I noticed it before that Inkscape often has a lot of issues with text whenever I try to edit them, this is also why relatively simple requests like the French seal of Nam Định above are difficult on Inkscape, I have software that could write circular text but there's no way I could vectorise it on Inkscape or actually get the circular text to behave the way I want it to behave, and even if I get a close rendition of the text I want in the file the display at the Wikimedia Commons always looks horrendous.
The logo doesn't look too stretched at my end though. But I'll try to do your advice in improving how the logo looks. -- — Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 21:24, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Unless you are drawing a diagram, a map, or a chart, you should always convert the text to shape. This is particularly true for logos where the text styles matter a lot & you want to have the full control over what the end users would see. Designism (talk) 20:07, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

Glad to hear that!

would like to request a vectorisation of the personal seal of the North Vietnamese President Hồ Chí Minh, its inscription reads Hồ Chí Minh ấn (胡志明印) in Chinese Seal script. Perhaps is wise to use two (2) versions, one (1) with just the square seal and one with the North Vietnamese flag (like in the example above). They could be named Hồ Chí Minh ấn (胡志明印).svg and Hồ Chí Minh ấn (胡志明印) with North Vietnamese flag.svg.
I am planning on using it in a sidebar for Hồ Chí Minh-related articles.

First request done. Not sure what you want for the flag version. SmallJarsWithGreenLabels (talk) 18:15, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
@SmallJarsWithGreenLabels: , the flag version was to be based on "File:Chinese seal of Hồ Chí Minh (1950's).png", but at the time when I made this request I was only familiar with this version of the seal, later I found a version without the flag. So I'm not sure if the version with the North Vietnamese flag was something he commonly used in diplomatic documents or if it was unique to that version. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 18:56, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
I've made an SVG concept image under the correct name based on the document, I don't know how to trace and convert raster files to vectors so anyone can improve the file and overwrite it, I've let all the original parts inside of the SVG so someone with the technical skills to improve it can change it. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 14:55, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
That flag part looks like a hand drawing to me. You may also find this article about auto-tracing to be helpful. Designism (talk) 19:24, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
Thank you, I'll tackle it myself, I'm slowly learning how to master both Inkscape and I'm learning about a large number of robots 🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖 that can edit images for you for free online with technical skills that in some cases seem to surpass that of humans. Because of that I think that I can probably finish this request by myself, so I'm marking it as "Resolved". As for the flag being hand drawn, that is a possibility that I hadn't thought of before, mostly because the hand-written text by Chairman Hồ Chí Minh (Uncle Hồ) is written using black ink while his seal is applied using red ink, as the seal was found on a diplomatic document I assumed that the North Vietnamese flag was something to indicate "Hey!, This is the seal of the Chairman (越南民主共和區主席, often translated as "President") of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam)".
Thank you for sharing that article as it will help me avoid making such simple requests in the future. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 07:25, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
@Donald Trung: No problem. I considered it a hand drawing for 2 reasons: (1) this shape is very hard to do in a zhuwen seal (easier to do in baiwen); (2) it is a considerable more sloppy artwork compared to the actual seal to its left. And if it is indeed a seal not a red ink hand drawing, the flag seal should be made as a separate SVG file, as the personal seal and the flag seal shall be considered as two separate entities.
If you want to experiment with auto trace, be aware that auto trace works the best when your image resolution is high. Otherwise someone will put a {{TracedSVG}} template on your file. Designism (talk) 14:45, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
, Ah, the more I learn about creating vectorised files the more I realise how difficult it is for a beginner (as in, there's quite a learning curve involved). I will tag is as either "{{FakeSVG}}" or "{{SVG with raster elements}}" for now until I've figured out how to properly trace it.

Graphist opinion(s)
Donald Trung, it is too hard to discern the graphical details in the crown. Do you have another image source with a higher resolution? --Designism (talk) 03:13, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
I don't, but I think that the version user "源義信" made using Adobe Photoshop probably suffices for the Wikipedia article it's in. As the file is "only a minor footnote" and not actually at the top of the article I'm not sure if I should continue this request as it's quite complex and just assuming that it's "the same crown as "File:Crown of a Baron of France.svg" but gold / brown" likely won't work as appears to be slightly different in shape, although it largely follows similar patterns. I'll probably re-open this request if I'll ever find a higher resolution image of the coat of arms, but for now this is the highest resolution of the image I have, so I'm (provisionally) closing this request.
If anyone else thinks that they can make this image they're free to do so, but I think that the current version looks nice in the Infobox, though I can see why re-users might wish to get a better version (though I think that it suffices.). --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 07:37, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

@OmegaFallon: I have just uploaded my vectorization in your original file. However, to achieve the protruding style in the original design, the text has to be converted to shapes.

Since the shade of blue on the flag is also mentioned as "Botswana blue", "Botswana blue" refers to the same shade of blue as the flag of Botswana.
The cogwheels should be Botswana blue.  Half done updated to match the official version, which is a brown-blue gradient
Since the bull's head is mentioned as only "brown" and not reddish-brown, that should be changed accordingly. ✓ Done
The elephant's tusk should be white. ✓ Done, matched the color to that from the official version (white ish)
The sorghum head should be brown and have white grains. ✓ Done

I.e., an issue with [how Wikipedia is rendering] the SVG code, same/similar issue as Commons:Graphic_Lab/Illustration_workshop/Archive/2023#File:Azure_semé-de-lys_or.svg: perhaps the tweak used there will work here, too.

Is there a way to search for issues like this (e.g., find all files where <use> tries to reference another <use>)?

@Cplakidas: Ping again coz I tagged the wrong person. Designism (talk) 04:50, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
@Designism: Thanks for taking this on (hopefully)! The design itself with Athena and the owl is actually older than 1944, it was the seal of the Athenian council of elders in the 1820s, so it is definitely out of copyright. The only addition in 1944 was the inscription inside the rim, ΑΘΗΝΑΙΩΝ ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΙΑ ('Liberty of the Athenians'), which was added by the organization that sponsored the flag's creation, the non-profit Society of Athenians (which used the same design as its own seal). Copyright law isn't my strong suit, but I would imagine that this addition is trivial and does not result in a new copyright claim. Constantine 17:40, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
@Cplakidas can you share a link/citation to prove that "it was the seal of the Athenian council of elders in the 1820s"? I'd like to link the source in the file description. --Designism (talk) 19:25, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
@Designism: it i in the site I linked above, which has the history of the flag: [31]. The passage reads: "Ακριβώς στο κέντρο της Σημαίας και μέσα σε κύκλο χρυσοκεντήθηκε η σφραγίδα των Αθηναίων Δημογερόντων του 1821 που απεικονίζει την Αθηνά λογχίζουσα. Γύρω αναγράφηκε το περίφημο «Αθηναίων Ελευθερία». Αυτό είναι εξάλλου και το έμβλημα του «Συλλόγου των Αθηναίων»." (in English: "Right in the center of the flag and inside a gold circle was embroidered the seal of the Athenian Elders of 1821 depicting Athena holding a spear. The famous "Liberty of the Athenians" was inscribed around it. This is also the emblem of the Association of the Athenians." The basic design (Athena standing with owl and wreath) was widely used for seals of the provisional Greek authorities at the time, e.g. File:Seal Greek Provisional Government(Transparent).png or File:Ministerion ton Naftikon seal 1824.jpg. The specific form of Athena on the seal of this flag is peculiar to Athens, it representing the statue of Athena Promachos, Athena the Defender (e.g. File:Atenea arcaizante.JPG), which stood on the Acropolis. Constantine 19:46, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
Actually, I apparently had not understood correctly: the exact design, including the legend ΑΘΗΝΑΙΩΝ ΕΛΕΥΘΕΡΙΑ, was already present in the original seal. I found it among the seals (seal no. 24, from a document dated 26 May 1821) in the collection of the National Historical Museum of Athens, published in the book Σφραγίδες ελευθερίας 1821-1832, Historical and Ethnological Society of Greece, Athens 1983.

First (1st) all thank you very much for this vectorisation.

Seals of the Ministries of the Republic of China (Taiwan)

This section was archived on a request by: Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 17:26, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Article(s): various articles. I hope to add each image to their respective ministry's Wikipedia infobox.

Request
I would like to request quite a large batch of largely similar requests, namely the vectorisation of all seals of the Ministries of the government of the Republic of China (Taiwan). All seals should be in the same red colour (including the ones in black-and-white above) as that is the standard colour of the special ink used to stamp them with.
Titles, descriptions, captions, Etc. could be wholesale copied, but rather than being categorised in the category "Ministerial seals of the Republic of China" they should be added to a new category named "SVG ministerial seals of the Republic of China" (a sub-category of "SVG seals of Taiwan" and "Ministerial seals of the Republic of China").
Note that these seals don't all use the same "type" (calligraphy) of Chinese Seal script, so even if the inscription reads "部印" for all of them every character has to be hand traced based on each seal.
If there are any questions feel free to ask me. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 21:39, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Vectorize a pie chart to SVG

Article(s): None!

Request
Please vectorize a pie chart to SVG. The first SVG should be without the "Made with Livegap Charts" watermark, but the second SVG should be with the "Made with Livegap Charts" watermark! Thanks for the advice!--Mihai Popa Message me! 18:39, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)
@MihaiUpload4: Pardon me, but how will these files be used? I do not see any educational reasons for why this file should exist, given that Wikimedia Commons already have plenty of pie charts exist. Nor do I see any reason why "Made with Livegap Charts" need to be added. Please see COM:NOTUSED. Designism (talk) 00:13, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
@: Pardon me! I've haven't uploaded a pie chart before, so I uploaded one! "Made with Livegap Charts" is a watermark! I've created using LiveGap Chart Creator, a site to make charts! So, please upload these 2 versions I mentioned! Thanks for the assistance! Mihai Popa Message me! 00:20, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
@MihaiUpload4: "I've haven't uploaded a pie chart before, so I uploaded one" does not answer the question "how will these files be used". The goal of the graphics lab or Wikimedia Commons is not to help you learn how to upload files or to offer an SVG tutorial. Designism (talk) 02:24, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
@: It's too hard to vectorize a SVG manually! Maybe auto-vectorization? As for "I've haven't uploaded a pie chart before, so I uploaded one" does not answer the question "how will these files be used", on the English Wikipedia, on a suitable article! PNG it's too harsh for charts, so Mrmw will vectorize the chart as 2 versions, without the "Made with Livegap Charts" watermark and with the "Made with Livegap Charts" watermark! Also such files are uploaded to reach the goal of 94M files uploaded! Mihai Popa Message me! 13:16, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
@MihaiUpload4: , Only if Mrmw is still happy to vectorize for you after they realized that the source PNG of your request on May 28th has been deleted under CSD G1 (test page).
"on the English Wikipedia, on a suitable article" Which article will that be? I do not see any actual use of the raster image or a vectorization of that image. In contrast, your previous request about the flag of MSV football club is a good and meaningful request, as it actually serves a purpose.
I am glad that you acknowledged that it is hard to "vectorize a SVG manually", considering that images like these will result in extremely poor quality when auto traced. Please do not waste other Wikigraphists time and energy on meaningless requests like this. -- Designism (talk) 19:57, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Hallo @ReneeWrites: , sinds je zo enthusiast was om meer zegels te maken heb ik nog een paar bestanden die je kan vectoriseren. Ik moet de artikelen voor deze agentschappen op Wikipedia nog publiceren, maar ik dacht dat het beter zou zijn om nu een verzoek voor vectorisatie op te stellen dan wachten totdat ik die artkelen ga schrijven. Deze bestanden moeten allemaal in de categorie "Categorie:SVG zegels van Vietnam" en ik voeg later wel de correcte categorieën toe voor de juiste Nguyễn-Dynastie instanties.

Hee @Donald Trung: ik ben met de zegels bezig maar ik heb wat moeite met File:Văn thư phòng quan phòng (文書房關防) Trung tâm Lưu Trữ Quốc Gia I 02.jpg vanwege de lage resolutie. Kan je een hogere resolutie vinden? Anders weet ik niet zeker of ik er een correcte vector-versie van kan maken. ReneeWrites (talk) 18:59, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
ReneeWrites, ik zat al te twijfelen of ik de Văn thư phòng quan phòng (文書房關防) in dit verzoek zou meenemen of niet, ik denk dat er misschien een betere versie van deze zegel in het boek "Ấn chương trên Châu bản triều Nguyễn" te vinden is, maar die staat op de laptop van mijn vrouw dus ga ik eerst even kijken of ik hem kan vinden. Als ik een betere versie vindt vervang ik hem boven en ping ik je, anders streep ik hem door.

Article(s): en:List of active duty United States three-star officers

Request
I have multiple military seals to be converted to SVG but per previous advice I'm releasing them in smaller, less intimidating batches - prioritising seals with extremely poor-quality non-SVG images. Here's the first two for the Office of the Secretary of Defense and Defense Contract Management Agency. SVG images should be near-identical in colour and appearance.

- OSD logo - Upload under same filename. This image reference to the physical identification badge may be helpful.

- DCMA logo - Upload under the filename Seal of the Defense Contract Management Agency. Note that the version on the DCMA official website looks slightly darker colour-wise, please follow that colour scheme. SuperWIKI (talk) 14:59, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Please make obverse and reverse of royal flag of king Amanullah Khan. [38]. I've uploaded my own files here, but I made some mistakes earlier because I didn't know this photo before. Other sources: [39], [40], [41], [42] [43] and another reconstruction. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 19:00, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

@Swiãtopôłk: Done! Could you check the files for inaccuracies? ReneeWrites (talk) 21:25, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
@ReneeWrites: The reverse is good, only the white elements should be moved to the right, as for the obverse, I have 4 comments
  1. the emblem should be shifted to the left so that it is about 3:5 wide
  2. 6 thinner feathers ending in a semicircle line
  3. The star, however, should be 12-sided, composed of rays, have a larger center, and pass under the sword to the other side
  4. Swords also other, detailed graphics I will place myself.

Thank you for taking care of this. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 15:06, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

@Swiãtopôłk: I changed the design based on your feedback and the pictures you provided earlier. I took an especially close look at this and this photograph, that show the design most clearly and are probably the most historically accurate.
1: I'm unsure what this means, could you clarify?
2: Changed the feathers according to your specifications.
3: If you look at the second picture, you can see the amount of points a quarter/half of the star has; based on this we can infer that it has 16 points. The rays converge to the center, where there is a thick band, before we get to the center of the star. (This band doesn't appear to be present in the first picture, but the second picture shows a better view of the flag's details).
4: Swords were added.
Let me know if these changes are alright by you. ReneeWrites (talk) 14:35, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
This is exactly what was needed, thank you for everything.

Request
Since December 3, 2022, some elements in this image have destructed after someone optimized it, which affect the visual appearence for the helmet of Alexander Nevsky. In this image I've attempted to correct the Polish coat of arms using File:Герб Царства Польского 1882.svg, but after I upload here, the helmet looks broke down. Then I found File:Middle Coat of Arms of the Russian Empire.svg is also affected by December 2022 revision. However these images are difficult to fix for me because they are extremely large in file size and they are so complex that dragged my device for very long times, so I request to fix them here.

The necessary corrections are helpfully pointed out by User:Jnestorius on the File's talk page. Thanks. Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 12:17, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

6 flags for 3 shipping companies

Article(s): en:Holland America Line, en:Allan Line Royal Mail Steamers, en:Thomas Wilson Sons & Co.

Request
Please add vectorized versions of these flags. Please don't use colors with HTML ending in zero as these are unprintable colors and therefore ahistorical.
  1. Holland America Line (c. 1873-1971)
  2. Holland America Line (1971-1976) those 2 greenish stripes are actually useful to have teal color.
  3. Allan Shipping Line
  4. Allan Shipping Line (until about 1905)
  5. Thomas Wilson Sons & Co.
  6. Ellerman's Wilson Line

@QuickQuokka: your logo was not correct, pls only do vectorization by yourself if you are sure there ard no vector-data available - if there are vector-data, use them --Mrmw (talk) 15:08, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
@Mrmw: I extracted that logo from File:B&B-Hotels-Logo.svg, which allegedly extracted their logo from https://bbhotels-group.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/bandb-logo.svg (rotten link). --QuickQuokka [⁠talkcontribs] 15:32, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Please make svg versions for these logos, which are too simple to be copyrighted.

Fix librsvg bug
When I uploaded this version which fixes the geometry according to the 2005 decree, it displayed correctly when viewed on Chrome, but librsvg fails to display it correctly. My vector graphics skills are quite limited, and I have no idea why this happened. It would be preferable to code it manually, instead of with Inkscape or another vector graphics editor. -SVG-image-maker (talk) 21:44, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Official text
English Translation: In accordance with the seventh article of the constitution, the emblem of the Kingdom shall be a red flag with a five-pointed green star in the center. The flag shall be made with fabric of canna red, opaque and rectangular in shape. The star shall be open, green like the leaf of palm trees, made of five continuous branches and woven in the same fabric where it must be visible on both sides of the flag. One of its points must point upwards. The hoist [vertical dimension of a flag] of the flag equals two thirds (2/3) of its fly [horizontal length of a flag]. The star is inscribed in an invisible circle whose radius equals one sixth (1/6) of the flag's fly [horizontal length of a flag] and whose center is the intersection point of the invisible diagonal lines of the flag's rectangular. The width of each one of the branches of the star shall be 1/20 of its length.
As the flag is legally defined by a textual description, it can be relicensed as PD-Morocco-exempt.
Note the thickness of the black outline is not legally defined. It is generally much thinner than the green part.
My attempt at adjusting the dimensions (at [45]) displayed correctly when viewed natively on Microsoft Edge, but there ended up being a librsvg bug. I have no idea what caused it though.
Maybe rotating the arms the other way will work (it worked when viewed natively). I will try that and let you know if it works. SVG-image-maker (talk) 14:24, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
Never mind, rotating the arms the other way did not work. SVG-image-maker (talk) 14:27, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
@SVG-image-maker, I re-exported it from Adobe Illustrator, which efffectively breaks the rotation transforms by drawing each path individually. Unfortunately this increased the file size fivefold, but uh... at least it shows the correct design now? Designism (talk) 14:57, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
Marking as resolved. SVG-image-maker, please reach a consensus with Hamamat32 first. --Designism (talk) 07:40, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

I noticed that this file is huge for an SVG (67 kb), so I tried to minify it using XLinks. I'm not very confident of my SVG skills. It looks almost the same except for the colors. I don't know how and am not sure if you can style individual elements using XLink. I don't really feel like uploading my work, so here it is:

Virginia state seal SVG

This section was archived on a request by: Designism (talk) 03:08, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Article(s): en:Virginia

Request
I'm looking for a little assistance with shifting the position of certain elements of the SVG of the seal of the U.S. state of Virginia. My goal is to have the seal looking more like this, and to get there I need two things:
  • The legs of the tyrant lying on the ground rotated about 15° clockwise
  • The sheathed sword in her arm rotated about 15° counterclockwise
Here's an overlay to show that difference. I have been trying to accomplish this myself, but the way the nodes are connected make it difficult for an SVG amateur to correct. I imagine it would take a professional just a few minutes. There's other creative adjustments that could be then done to this design, which our current consensus supports, to better match it to the more rudimentary versions that other users may be used to seeing, but those two rotations are the most important. Thanks! -- Patrick, oѺ 15:28, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)
"I imagine it would take a professional just a few minutes" I doubt it, given the way the layers are done (probably an image trace + coloration by hand). Still takes me about 2 hours. --Designism (talk) 23:02, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

You can find flat versions of this poster online. [46] Looking at a zoomed in photo of the top right corner, [47] it's unclear whether the copyright is to 1962 or 1992 (probably not 1662 though!). SmallJarsWithGreenLabels (talk) 22:27, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

I recently found a bad JPEG screenshot of a graph from Our World in Data. I would like to replace it with a nicer SVG version. Unfortunately, Our World in Data produces SVGs that RSVG doesn't render properly.

Early emblems of Afghanistan

Article(s): [[]]

Request
Please correct these files showing early versions of the Afghan emblem. At that time, the emblem was not standardized, but I think it would be better to improve the following:
  1. longer and more pointed star rays
  2. the lines of the floor converge under the mihrab and the pulpit is "lower" in this perspective
  3. replace the swords and headdress called Kolah with those of King Amanullah's flag, but with one large feather instead of 6
  4. equalize the height of the roofs
  5. add three triangles at the top of the mihrab
  6. oval versions should have a slightly different arrangement of star rays, [51] [52]
sources
  1. [53], in this version there is an open book above the swords which is not repeated in other versions, i couldn't find any information about it so don't add book.
  2. [54]
  3. [55]
  4. [56]
  5. [57]
  6. [58]
  7. swords and kollah

Here's the first design: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lincolnshire_flag_propasal_Design_1.svg
I'll see if I can make the others but I can't promise anything. Emartalice3 (talk) 05:27, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
The designs on the BBC website have a different aspect ratio than the official flag and seem to lack any specifications, so I'll make approximations of them in the current flag's colours and dimensions to the best of my ability. Also, the fleur-de-lis on the SVG is different from the one on the actual flag of Lincolnshire. Since I can't find or create a SVG of the proper fleur-de-lis, I'll use the same substitute.

Colour-blind-accessible alternative map


Article(s): en:Armenian genocide#International recognition and en:Armenian genocide recognition#Countries

Request
I recently tagged the file for a colour-blind accessibility problem. Please also see its associated Discussion page File talk:States recognising the Armenian Genocide.svg (the section about Colorblind friendly red and green?), where the originator of the map responded to the template — apparently considering a more accessible version of the map would not be in the interest of the majority of readers. I cannot tell whether that is true, I cannot change the file myself or make a new version, and there is no indication that further discussion between the originator and me would prove fruitful. The Description section on the file's page lists the countries. If you think a more accessible map would on balance be a good thing and are able to make a suitable new version, could you do so, please? Thank you and best wishes, --Frans Fowler (talk) 22:07, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)
Hello Frans Fowler, and thank you for voicing your concern about the accessibility issue.
  1. "Hatching" an area has been traditionally a go-to option for print media since they only had black and white back then. Yet when it comes to Wikimedia Commons, we will also need to consider maintainability — how easy it is for someone to update a map. The existing format is extremely easy to change while adding patterns would involve some more cumbersome SVG manipulations.
  2. I see that you are in a dispute with the original author. The function of this Graphic Lab is not to argue for anyone on any side, so I will avoid overwriting the existing file this time. I have uploaded my experiment here instead.
  3. Two things I've changed in the aforementioned experiment: the green color is now darker, and the red color is now orange. Using a color-blind simulator like this one, I think the two colors can be reasonably distinguished.
  4. The very famous WCAG guideline for website accessibility recommends having texts as alternatives to non-text elements. As long as this map is always accompanied by legends that explain the data, it's fair game.
--Designism (talk) 03:12, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

  • Note1 : The measures given in the diagrams appear to be in 'Graudated tape' units. - This means that they are in effect scaling factors. The true measures being where x is the 'tape' used (typically based on a Bust, chest or waist measure) and y is measure given in the diagram.
  • Note 2: It would be nice if the pattern sections could also be provided in some suitable format for sewing pattern data, but I'm not sure Commons supports those formats directly.

So the current illustration of the seal of Pingnan Guo isn't very representative to say the least; it's based on a poorly drawn gif from 2011 that's poorly mashed a lot of the seal script characters together.

@RZuo: It is true and should be fixed. You can click invalid to go to the W3C validation of the file. In this case, the errors are caused by circle elements with d attributes. I don't have permission to overwrite the file, so I haven't looked into the issues in detail, but it should be a fairly straightforward fix. —CalendulaAsteraceae (talkcontribs) 04:50, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
@RZuo:
Generally, inconsequential validation errors in SVG files can be ignored. See Help:SVG.
Many validation errors are reasonable extensions such as aria-* or data-* attributes. SVG 2.0 is also introducing new attributes that SVG 1.1 validators will flag as errors. For the licensing tutorial case, the d attributes on svg:circle elements are incorrect, but they do not hurt much and do not need to be corrected right now. The fix also needs an admin's time. (I tried fixing it but ran into its file protection.)
There are other subtle costs with doing minor fixes to files. It tickles watch lists. Some users have gone on crusades to validate syntax or to minimize file size. The notion is commendable, but it consumes other users' time and frequently introduces errors or other issues. Users' viewpoints are often different: some users will delete metadata that includes author and license information.
If it ain't broke, then don't fix it.
FWIW, I am a believer in strong typing, validation, and removing warnings, but I am also pragmatic. If a user is uploading a file for other reasons, then that is a good time to fix validation issues.

i want a copy without errors, because i am making a new version in a different language and dont want to propagate the errors.
as long as the errors are not fixed, they will be carried over as more versions are uploaded, so this file should be fixed. RZuo (talk) 07:14, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

I am asking you to make three banners from the time of the Anglo-Afghan war, there were many more, but no more are needed, and the others are not documented. [71]
  1. Flag captured at Jellalabad, It's the one in the middle, but the graphics are old and inaccurate, according to the photo the green frame is actually more yellow, so are the fringes. The inscription is the Shahad's confession of faith.
  2. Flag captured at Ghazni which looks like this in the picture, written are the names of the first 4 caliphs placed opposite each other (Abu Bakr أَبُو بَكْرٍ, ‘Umar عُمَر, Uthman عُثْمَان and Ali عَلِيّ)
  3. Flag captured in Waziristan, it was drawn in this book, but in the photo you can see 2 crosses and one "X", I don't know their color so make them black, the flag is with white and red stripes. Crosses do not have Christian connotations and are one of the patterns woven on carpets to bring good luck.

It is always preferred to take the text out of the image and put it in captions. (1) It is easier to make textual updates. (2) It is easier to translate and reuse for Wikimedia projects in other languages. (3) It adapts to mobile better. (4) Screen readers can easily read what the image is trying to say without the presence of an alt text. (5) It makes the file size smaller.

En rouge (talk) 02:29, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
@En rouge:
The "1" suggests Helvetica or Arial, but SEPTA's "G" is tall/thin, so perhaps condensed bold. Liberation Sans has a slab-serif "1".
The single-letter (family) symbols use a smaller font; compare G versus G1.
SVG with curves can be pulled from the embedded SVG at https://beta-static.septa.org/metro/ (but there are artifacts at the bottom edge).

@Alexphangia: ✓ Done --Obivan Kenobi (talk) 10:34, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

I like that you used text for Epse, but the file shows continuing limitations with WMF's old librsvg.
First, librsvg apparently does not do font-variant="small-caps", so the obvious typesetting fails:
<text font-size="50" text-anchor="end" font-variant="small-caps">Epse</text>
Second, librsvg 2.44.10 mishandles text chunks, so the obvious workaround fails:
<text font-size="50" text-anchor="end">E<tspan font-size="35">PSE</tspan></text>
Individually placing the characters works for Commons thumbnails, but it does not work when I look at the SVG in my browser: the characters are too big and overlap when Times New Roman is substituted for the font.

Please make a few changes to this graphic to make it match the only preserved copy. I would also like a separate file for the cut out white emblem

  1. the middle roof is the same height as the towers

  3. kollah hat above the roof reduced to a rectangle
  4. instead of swords there is an eightsix-pointed star
  5. Fewer wheels under the middle roof.
  6. The star surrounding the whole should be simpler, it consists of only 4 lines on the rays.
  7. A little more subdued green and red, because such intense colors are impossible to obtain with dye.

@Mrmw: Thank you, I have already started exchanging files. What is already there is good, but I looked at the photos very carefully and noticed a few more details that I missed earlier.
  1. The border of the black circle extends to 1/3 of the height of the bottom and top bars, but the white emblem is currently a good size
  2. The dots are black and located on a white rectangle. The rectangle has the same length as the bottom of the roof. If adding it causes the roof to be too high, shorten the tower. There is an oval in the middle of the rectangle, the oval is 1/5 the length of the rectangle. 2 dots are halfway between the oval and the end of the rectangle. One dot is about 1/10 the width of the rectangle.
  3. Additionally, I would like to have an isolated emblem to use in the article about emblems.
I also noticed such details, but they don't seem important to me and adding them is at your discretion
  1. The mosque itself is a little wider, the floor almost touches the upper top of the 5th strip counting from the bottom of the outer star.
  2. Flags stick out from the very bottom of the towers.
  3. On the towers, there are rectangles that are not adjacent to the towers, same as the first version, but at a different height, halfway between the floor and the roof.
The six-pointed star is clearly visible, and the fact that King Ali replaced the swords makes sense, since swords were the emblem of his predecessor Amanullah. Thank you for your patience and great work. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 20:06, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Arms of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland, and Ireland after Richard Cromwell (eight days in May 1659)

Article(s): [[]]

Request
At present, Commons lacks a full complement of the arms used by the Commonwealth of England, Scotland, and Ireland. We are missing the final arms of 1659, after the deposition of Richard Cromwell. According to George Vertue (plate XXIV here), the third seal of the Commonwealth depicted the arms without the Cromwell inescutcheon and without the normal supporters – two non-descript angels clutching vegetation (laurel crown, palm frond and laurel branch) in their place. It would be nice to have an SVG version of this coat of arms, as well as of the shield alone (File:Arms of the Protectorate (1653–1659).svg with the inescutcheon removed) and of the banner of arms (File:Standard of Oliver Cromwell (1653–1659).svg with the inescutcheon removed). It would seem from the seals that different versions of the protectorate-era arms existed, or were intended to exist, for the three different ex-kingdoms: a seal for Irish use has the harp in the second quarter (plate XXV) – so it would be good to have shields of arms and banners of arms for those variations too.

Anglo-Irish royal arms of William III in spring 1689: England quartering Ireland

Article(s): e.g. en:William III of England

Request
Please create SVGs for the royal coat of arms in England and Ireland in spring 1689 using existing elements. According to Charles Oman's "Caddinets and a Forgotten Version of the Royal Arms" and Adrian Ailes's "Silent ambassadors of the State: symbols of national identity on the Great Seals and coins of the United Kingdom", the arms of William III between 13 February and 11 April 1689 (i.e. before recognition of William by the Scots Parliament) consisted of England quartered with Ireland only, without any Scottish arms, and with the Tudor dragon in place of the Stuart unicorn. Apparently this design was made into a Great Seal before becoming obsolete, and still exists on a caddinet, formerly among the royal plate collection, sold off to William Lowther, 1st Earl of Lonsdale, and reacquired by the royal collection in 1975. In simple terms, the Scottish red lion and silver unicorn must come out of the pre-Revolution arms, with the lion being replaced by a second harp and the unicorn replaced by the red dragon. Heraldic banners would also be desirable, but not essential. GPinkerton (talk) 17:44, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Crossposting from here: this image looks fine in the preview, but if you click through to the SVG, everything but the background and the three stars disappears. What's going on here? —CalendulaAsteraceae (talkcontribs) 05:26, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
I've noticed that the SVG is very zoomed in. If you zoom out with your browser a lot, the rest will appear, but the background is still broken. Panamitsu (talk) 09:56, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)

Image looks OK in Chrome but only stars on background are visible in Firefox. The following element does not display:

<polygon transform="scale(1e-5)" points="1.035e8 9.7e7 2e8 9.7e7 2e8 9.4e7 1.065e8 9.4e7 1.065e8 64461000 1.1414e8 56819000 1.1909e8 61769000 1.1626e8 64597000 1.1485e8 63183000 1.1626e8 61769000 1.1414e8 59648000 1.1061e8 63183000 1.1697e8 69547000 1.2121e8 65305000 1.2121e8 59648000 1.1414e8 52577000 1.035e8 63219000" fill="#a2260b"/>

Significantly, the string "1e-5" is probably confused. From the SVG 1.1 spec:

When used in an SVG attribute, a <number> is defined differently, to allow numbers with large magnitudes to be specified more concisely:

number ::= integer ([Ee] integer)?
           | [+-]? [0-9]* "." [0-9]+ ([Ee] integer)?

The probable difference is Chrome is correctly interprets "1e5" but Firefox does not. Glrx (talk) 18:59, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

No. That is not the problem. Glrx (talk) 19:15, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
Tried scale(1.0e-5) and scale(0.00001 0.00001), but they did not work. If I remove the scale, then the component displays.

I just want to understand, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:57, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
Blur: to fake the drop shadow.
Font: for the SVG display reasonably on Windows and Mac which don't natively have Liberation Sans.
White circle: to make the background opaque so the text can be seen if overlaid on a dark background.
Text boxes: I don't understand what you mean – how else would text be displayed?
@Goran tek-en: cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 21:34, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
@Cmglee
  • Blur can be some troublesome rendering and it is to my understand also using quite a lot of computer power to be rendered, at least when you open it in Inkscape. Do you think those shadows are that important for the image, for me it would work very well without, or have you tried to use Radial Gradient.
  • Yes fonts are a difficult part here but this might help. I guess you already know this list.
  • Why don't just make a rectangle with the same size as the document.
  • In Inkscape you can just click with the text tool and start writing, you don't have to draw a box. When you have a box you will limit the texts to be within it. Sometimes when a system uses another font it can render larger/longer and then the box cut it and force to a new line or not being visible at all depending on the size of the box.
When I draw in svg I always keep it as simple as possible, everything you add which will complicate things will be something that might give you problems ahead. We never know how our images will be used or rendered, so we have no control over that. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 13:33, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
@Goran tek-en: Good you've found your way of doing things. I write SVG files by hand or with a script, so, for example, tend to use a lot of use to reduce repetition of common code. It may look complicated to you, but it keeps things consistent and to me, easier to maintain.
  • The shadow helps convey that the shapes should be interpreted as 3D projections, so I'd say they're important.
  • I add Liberation Sans to recent diagrams but it would be too much effort to refresh my back catalogue and confirm that they work as intended. Helvetica and Arial have been tested to be properly substituted on rsvg.
  • It will then have to updated when the viewBox changes. As my browser has a white background, failure to do so is hard to detect.
  • As I write SVG files by hand or with a script, I'm unaware of Inkscape peculiarities. I believe text and tspan tags are the standard way of outputting text in SVG.

This is regarding File:Bixby logo.svg. Someone uploaded an updated version of the logo (archived link) but this was reverted because the image did not render properly on the Wikipedia article (the icon on the left was white and almost invisible).

I opened the file in InkScape, but again it does not render properly: the icon on the left isn't there at all. Yet it shows up fine when I open it in Firefox.

@Mrmw: Thanks. Could you increase size of images "preview"? It's default size of image at file page. Eurohunter (talk) 21:43, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
@Eurohunter: dont know what you are talking about - svg-files are scalable, why should i change resolution of files? 440px x 400px seems to be nice at filepage --Mrmw (talk) 21:48, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
@Mrmw: I know they are scalable and the full size is 2048x2048, but Swedish Post logo has 600x600 at file page preview or Haas has 922×814. Looks like Williams has even its maximum size of 3356×2543 same as it's maximum size possible to render. Eurohunter (talk) 19:40, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
@Eurohunter: dont get it, you mix png and svg-files, the question about image-size and resolution is completely different - pls explain exactly what is your problem or what you want to do - perhaps have a look at COM:SVG --Mrmw (talk) 20:35, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
@Eurohunter: SVG files are infinitely resizable. That means when you use it, you can specify its size to be arbitrarily small or arbitrarily large, and Wikipedia can still render everything nice and clean. Here is an example. --Designism (talk) 15:03, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
@Mrmw: @: No. I mean something else and it doesn't matter if it's svg or png file. Anyway I will show you example of Swedish Post trademark. The file has full 2048×2048 at [90] but if if you look at page File:Swedish Post trademark.svg there is just 600x600 preview, and you can increase this value to 900x900 etc. I don't know how to change it. Eurohunter (talk) 21:50, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
Generally, SVG files will be displayed on the File: page at the size specified in the width and height attributes. The File:Swedish Post trademark.svg specifies those values to be 600 by 600 pixels, and that is what is displayed on the File page. SVG files that do not specify the width and height will be displayed at a width of 512 pixels. That means that some files are displayed at a small size. For example, some SVG icon files may be displayed at 64 by 64 pixels. See, for example, File:Crystal128-player-play.svg.
If the width is large, then the File page will scale the image down. For example, File:2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.svg is 2,199 × 1,478 pixels, but it is displayed at a width of 800 pixels.
If you click through to display the SVG directly in a browser, then the browser will display the image at the size specified by the width and height attributes. If those attributes are not set but there is a viewBox attribute, then the browser will scale the image to fit on the screen. That is a nice feature in many situations, but it often means the image will not pan and zoom. There is not a clear best practice.
The Commons File page will be reasonable if the width is in the 400 to 800 pixel range. I would not edit an SVG file merely to change its displayed image size. The Bass Hunter logos have a width of 400 pixels and are large enough for a reasonable display. The logos do not have much detail, so even a display size of 160 pixels is OK.
Glrx (talk) 00:02, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
@Eurohunter: Perhaps you can also tell us what exactly you want to do with these files, rather than what you want? After all, if you try to use the file on any Wikimedia website, the preview size of the file shouldn't matter — you can always specify the thumbnail/image size. --Designism (talk) 23:28, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
@: "The File:Swedish Post trademark.svg specifies those values to be 600 by 600 pixels, and that is what is displayed on the File page" - I mean this. Eurohunter (talk) 14:17, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
Sorry. That's still "what you want", not "why you want" or "what you plan to do with these files". Designism (talk) 18:05, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
@: I think 400 x 400 - that is small size for file preview in comparison to others. Eurohunter (talk) 20:40, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
@Eurohunter: I hope I am understanding you correctly — you want the preview size to be roughly the same, so that they all look more or less consistent, but this is only so that the preview page can look pretty, and this has nothing to do with the Wikipedia article Basshunter you are trying to improve.

Request
The mosque drawings in these files should be listed. I will make a drawing of what it should look like, but it needs to be vectorized. I based my drawing on coins and stamps from that period [91] [92] [93] [94] [95] , I also noticed that since 1926 different versions of the emblem differ much less from each other than before. The first two files show a completely incorrect drawing, identical to the versions from the 1990s and it is best to replace them completely. The third file shows a flag that has been around for about a month and has no detailed sources. I speculate that King Amanullah, who introduced it, used an emblem similar to my drawing, instead of restoring the pre-1926 emblem currently shown. Just don't change the star. The fourth and fifth files show flags from the Civil War, so the details are definitely different. I am also asking you to change the mosques and leave the stars, because the coins from that period have drawings similar to mine. [96] [97]

@Goran tek-en: These symbols are different, and were used by different countries or governments. Flag with tiger was used as a symbol of a military unit, which was part of the German Army.

@: Fair enough. Although, given all the uncertainty about its status, how would you feel about uploading it to WC as an "intentionally faked flag" instead? Specifically by using the type of wavy lines from this file here (bottom-left) as templates? As I really do think that, while they bear a reasonable resemblance to the wavy shapes on "Design 4", they couldn't be mistaken for exact duplicates of them either. What do you think? Snow Lion Fenian (talk) 13:04, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
@Snow Lion Fenian, I think the resemblance to the original design file is better. I regret making "intentionally faked flags" in the past... I think faked flags should be used in non article namespaces (e.g., in a user box on a user page). Designism (talk) 20:06, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s)
@Swiãtopôłk: I am scared of the first flag because I cannot tell whether the flag is supposed to look just like the UK flag, or if all its red lines are meant to be equal in width. The bottom right quarter of that flag looks like the top left quarter but rotated 45 degrees. I also cannot tell if the flag has a strictly triangular shape, or a square on the left and a triangle on the right. Do you happen to have better references to confirm these details? --Designism (talk) 22:32, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

@: Do this with a normal Union Jack. Unfortunately, I did not find any other sources that would provide certainty in the first matter, but the designer's intentions were probably the original flag of Great Britain. I've seen strangely drawn British flags in materials about the company and I think it's just a mistake. I am sure that it is a square with a triangle. This picture of the company's ships shows it this way. This flag looks different, but I suspect it's because the author of the drawing focused more on the ships than the flag.

text in SVG (sheet index)

Request
How could I improve the readability of the text in the SVG for lower sizes (for comparison, a jpeg with similar text). --Enhancing999 (talk) 08:54, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s)

Use bigger fonts. The SVG font size is 1/6 the box height (20 px / 120 px). The JPEG fonts are relatively larger. Larger fonts means some names will not fit the width; the JPEG uses two lines for some names (see 1185) and abbreviations for others (see 1126). The JPEG also uses a even larger font for the map number. Glrx (talk) 17:24, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

@Glrx: Thanks for your advice. I increased font-sizes and added classes for longer names (>12 chars) and sheet numbers.
I hesitate to add more abbreviations. I split the "bis"-numbers on two lines, but left the name of 1185 on 1 line. Enhancing999 (talk) 20:08, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
I split text in 2 lines where possible and added a different text size for short names.
Font-sizes are now (in v 0.51): 35px (sheet number), 23px (longer names, 12 and more characters), 40px (short names, up to 6 characters), 30px (others). Enhancing999 (talk) 19:55, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
@Enhancing999:
I think you have a reasonable index. Congratulations on using classes. I would have kept the names at a single font size (like the JPEG version) to avoid making Basel appear more important than Sissach, but that is a personal preference. Also, the lines at the margins are 1/2 width; that can be fixed by offsetting and enlarging the size by a few pixels.
You can add a feature to the red dots. Instead of
<circle cy="1020" cx="1200" fill="red" r="8" id="Bern_Swiss_grid_initial_point_zero" />
do
<circle cy="1020" cx="1200" fill="red" r="8" id="Bern_Swiss_grid_initial_point_zero">
  <title>Bern Swiss grid initial point zero</title>
</circle>
It will not show up on WP, but it will show up when the SVG is viewed directly
Glrx (talk) 20:52, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
Thanks. I noticed my preferred font-size varies based on the png size. I tried to improve the positioning, fixed the borders and added the title feature. Enhancing999 (talk) 07:52, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
FYI, I made a request for this on COM:GL/M#Create a SVG version of File:Topo 25 sheets orig.jpg. It would be useful to add a background map, as mentioned there. And to have a version with the numbers only. Yann (talk) 21:01, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
Will do a number only one later. Also one without the (partial) digital-only tiles (some barely cover anything at all, currently we only have "Samnaun Ost"). Enhancing999 (talk) 07:52, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
Added it above. Also one for 1:50'000. Somehow the font looks better locally than rendered as png. Enhancing999 (talk) 14:35, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
@Enhancing999: @Yann: @Glrx: While the mix of font sizes maximises legibility, the differences in size makes it look a little haphazard. May I recommend keeping the same size and subtly tweaking the letter-spacing and horizontal scaling? Here are a few ways to make small text more legible:
  • Use a condensed font with large x-height. From [106], DejaVu Sans Condensed seems suitable.
  • Use negative letter-spacing up to around 5% of the font size (e.g. -1px for 20px).
  • Scale horizontally using transform="scale(0.9,1)" down to around 90%.
  • For multiline labels, reduce line-spacing using dy=0.9em down to around 0.9em, depending on whether the text has ascenders or descenders.
Additionally, tinting the tiles like a checkerboard lets gridlines be eliminated. Current shading can be replaced with boldface or coloured text. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 02:44, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

The position of "auto" is all over the map. See https://www.gamesradar.com/the-26-year-evolution-of-the-gta-logo-from-the-original-grand-theft-auto-to-gta-6/
We should probably have several versions of the logo. The current version matches the indenting of the file's first upload, so I would leave this file alone.

— Davest3r08 >:) (talk) 14:53, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
@Davest3r08: arial is not part of fonts at wikimedia, it will be substituted - see m:SVG fonts
in this case you should convert embedded fonts to path next time --Mrmw (talk) 15:25, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
@Davest3r08:
Although I prefer using text rather than curves, that poses many problems when trying to duplicate a logo's appearance.
The first problem is finding the right font. Let's say that Arial Heavy is the right font.
The second problem is specifying the font. Your file does font-family: Arial Heavy; font-weight: normal;. If an SVG agent does not have "Arial Heavy", then it will substitute a font, and it will use that font at a normal font weight. SVG wants the specification to be font-family: Arial; font-weight: heavy;. In theory, if "Arial" is substituted, then we have a chance of getting a heavy font. Adobe tools can be even worse: they will use font names that encode both bold and italic variations.
The third problem is many SVG agents do a poor job of substituting a heavy font; perhaps because so few heavy fonts exist. It gets worse for some other font properties. WMF's librsvg does a decent job for font-stretch: condensed (but it does not know that it has the condensed Liberation Sans Narrow), but both Chromium and Firefox seem to ignore font-stretch. That means the only way to get the condensed font is to request something like font-family: Noto Sans Condensed, but that will doom most font substitutions in other SVG agents.
The fourth problem is the varying text metrics. Fonts do not scale linearly, and substituted fonts may have slightly different metrics. SVG 1.1 has the textLength property to force a specific width. Unfortunately, that property is not supported by the WMF rasterizer.
The fifth problem is SVG 1.1 does not have a method of specifying the font's cap height, so SVG 1.1 does not let us fit the text to a box. You used CSS Shapes shape-inside:url(#rect2);, but that is not SVG 1.1.
The sixth problem is WebFonts are a security issue. The exact font could be linked, but that introduces other headaches. SVG 1.1 allows embedded fonts, but that feature has been dropped.
Glrx (talk) 20:53, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
Glrx, the issue is that I don't have any experience in programming SVGs, so I have no idea on how to do that. I made that SVG in Inkscape. — Davest3r08 >:) (talk) 20:56, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
