Great Lakes Circle Tours

Two additional versions of the lakes Michigan Superior markers are needed in MUTCD Brown (Pantone 469). (My signature is MUTCD Green, which is the correct shade for highway markers, although the reflectorized sheeting looks lighter when reflecting light, which is what these approximate.) They should all have the white border with a thin green (or black) outline around them as well.  Imzadi 1979  →   01:12, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Change image to an SVG
Article(s): Denmark-Norway Request: Please can you trace this and change it into an SVG file, if possible. Thanks. Peter (talk) 00:39, 16 August 2011 (UTC) Edit: Is it possible for the red colour to be the same as that found on File:Flag of Denmark? Many thanks. Peter (talk) 01:13, 16 August 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):

. I have suggested three possible base maps in vector format; using these would be slightly easier than vectorising the png image. Please indicate if the/which possible base maps would be satisfactory (note that File:Europe_(orthographic_projection).svg provides a full depiction of Greenland). Derfel73 (talk) 01:15, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The orthographic projection would be the best, although the Faroe Islands will need adding on, which I assume would be easy to do (with a dot to represent them). Would the redclash with the background though? Thanks. Peter (talk) 03:51, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * On second thoughts, File:Blank map europe no borders.svg would be better, and there is enough of Greenland visible for it to work. The globe is not detailed enough. The blank map also allows the red colour to be used. Peter (talk) 03:55, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Map of USA with state names.svg needs a more detailed/robust font-family in source SVG
Article(s): Political_divisions_of_the_United_States Request: In the source of the file, replace:

font-family:Nimbus Sans L

with:

font-family:'Arial Narrow','Nimbus Sans L',sans-serif;"

This makes the source SVG map more readable where "Nimbus Sans L" is not installed. Tested on a local copy.

Re-opening this request. Sorry for not following up last time. This is what happened last time:

Made the font bold. What do you think about that? Wereldburger758 (talk) 07:18, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

The problem is not the boldness of the font; in fact, I prefer the thinner font that fits better into the boundaries. My problem is that when "Nimbus Sans L" is not installed (e.g. most Microsoft Windows systems) the font-family string does not find a match, so the font is not rendered properly and usually a serif font will be used. The change I stated above tries first 'Arial Narrow' and if that is not found uses 'Nimbus Sans L' and then finally falls back to a sans-serif font. Looking back perhaps it would be better to put 'Nimbus Sans L' as the first choice, and 'Arial Narrow' second. You can perform this change by editing the SVG source in a text editor and doing a simple find-replace. It appears the change making the font bold also was not uniformly applied; I see a few instances where the font is not bold. I recommend doing a find-replace for "font-weight:bold" to "font-weight:normal", but another alternative would be to do the reverse, either of which would bring more of the font-weights in sync. Graphist opinion(s):

✅ - When user now opens the file, the font renders in Arial Narrow, if installed. Wikipedia still renders Nimbus for its previews. -MissMJ (talk) 05:55, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Arabic script
Article(s): Allah Request: Please convert to SVG then upload to Commons. Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:42, 30 August 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s):


 * Since most editors here probably don't know any Arabic, could you perhaps transcribe the Arabic text used in the image? —Quibik (talk) 13:08, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * It would be much appreciated if you could simply write the Arabic text here on this page; then I can paste it into the vector image. Derfel73 (talk) 13:26, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * It doesn't have to be an exact copy of the existing image. Just use the Commons' international method and use numbering so that various translations can be used in the summary box? This will then also solve the 'fonts on system', eg I have hundreds of fonts on my system due to my work yet I didn't have Freestyle and Freestyle Symbols. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 14:59, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Arabic text is الله‎ (based on our article). If you wish, you can use some more stylized bases found here. (Superscript is partially out of frame in current SVG. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:23, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Remaining Arabic text:

الف خنيريي: alif khanjariya شدق: shadda تشديد: tashdid الف وصلق: alif wasla همزتا الوصل: hamzatu 'wasl
 * Hope this helps. Mind you, the diacritics are rather important for the English text Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:47, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * ✅. I have made a version with numbers, though if you prefer the version with text, you can revert the image to that version in its history (all text errors are fixed) or I can upload the image with text as another file. Derfel73 (talk) 16:54, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

 * If you want things to work now on Wikipedia, just change all fonts to Arial or Times New Roman. The problem is mediawiki's rendering of SVG fonts (using librsvg, I think), and a better fix would be to change the code in the rendering engine, rather than the SVG file &mdash; it should at the very least support sans/serif as a font family, but it doesn't seem to yet. gringer (talk) 07:03, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Barnstar image
Article(s): Used in The Tireless Contributor Barnstar award. Request: In one frame of the image (the one where one "peak" of the star points directly upwards) there appears a dark border around the star. This border should be removed in order to obtain a smooth animation. (Interestingly this doesn't seem to appear in the above depiction of the image, but I can clearly see this effect at the barnstar template page and on pages where this barnstar template is placed, such as User:WereSpielChequers/Barnstars). Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 15:59, 8 September 2011 (UTC) Graphist opinion(s): It's not an outline, the effect you are seeing is as a result of the gif format itself. Transparency in gif is very rudimentary and is as a result of one colour being declared as being transparent, so therefore cannot be dithered. As a result the edges of an object in a gif file against transparency will always either have colour aberrations and/or jaggies. It all depends on the background of the area the gif is transposed against. The only way it can be sorted is if you dither the edges of the object based on the background colour you know it's going to be up against. The problem is that it will now only look right against the backdrop you designed it for. You take pot luck as to whether it will work or not against any other, hence why it works here, but not on some other page. --The Pink Oboe (talk) 19:53, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
