I did this only to make the drawing simpler and maybe faster.

white part of the flag at some sizes occurs because the phrases and the white area are different paths, and are thus rendered separately. It
Yes, probably right.
would be better to merge them into a single path, and to make sure that no path segments occur in places where a visible line is not supposed to appear. (That is, if you set a stroke for the path, the stroked line should appear only along the boundary of the red/green and white areas.)
Good idea. But this means you must explicitly state all 22 "Alkmar Allah" elements. This can't be the sense/usage of SVG-coding. :-( I want to have a logical strcutred SVG code reflecting the geometric constrcution, not a meaningless heap of coordinates of 3 pathes for 3 colors ! :-((
- The emblem in the center is built by drawing one half of it and then
cloning and mirroring it. At some sizes, this can cause a faint white line to appear where the two halves join together. It would be better to draw the entire emblem as a single path.
I know this issue. :-( And the current version has exactly corrected this problem by add atiny logical overlap. But I think mirroring complex pathes is easier for threndere than two times draw/interparte the compl4x path coordinates, doesn't it?
Look at flags of Serbia or even Ecuador, how long in real time drawing needs because of HUGE complex pathes. :-(
it cannot eliminate them entirely. The only way to reliably solve the problem is to design your drawings so that they don't contain coincident paths.
If you are right, this means to abandoned advantage from mirror symmetries (or rotational symmetries) to repeat sub-patterns. I hope you are wrong with "The only way to reliably solve" . :-/
BTW: Sorry, for my many typos and grammar mistakes and wrong wording.
Thanks for your ideas, Achim
