Hi
Thanks for your very quick response and a "work-around" solution(?).
It is the first time I see someone promptly spring into action for a quick help.
I thought this was impossible here, too. I needed about 4 - 5 day only to get
the pointer form wikimedia to ask here after public question. :-/
Of cource the prominantly displayed and wrongly rendered image is still there
(800×457 not equivalent 7x4 ). Hopefully most can understand english text.

So, the aspect ratio is right. Your problem is that
you want it to be a
perfect multiple of 7:4.
*LOL* You are pulling my leg. :) Integers are perfect and
7.00567... or
whatever is no integer, like 7:4 is a different ratio than 800 : 457. :)
Those links as provided as convenience for downloading
smaller versions.
They were added per bug 2581. I think those were added as arbitrary
sizes (with a large history usage, as noted).
Okay -- by convenince and
"arbitrary" sizes (with a large history usage) ...
well ....
So nobody should be allowed to get a thumbnail with
eg. exactly 120px
width? (As used in the galleries, meaning you would end up with
differently-sized thubmnails, which would look bad)
No, no .... see my proposal on
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File_talk:Flag_of_Iran.svg#general comments.
So your problem is not the scaling itself but that it
gets wrong (I
don't see a red line above the letters or a green one below them, btw so
seems to render fine).
Depends on what you call render ....
We are just asking rsvg to "render this svg in
this size", not doing two
different passes.
Well, This I didn't know, but I knew(guessed) if doing two
passes this would
be a work-around!
Well, if the given instance renders badly you should
take the issue
upstream to rsvg authors (unless the problem is that wikimedia is using
an outdated version).
Well ... if this is the case, I did not know, maybe -- but
I'm not an admin.
Noone told me how the original SVG size is converted to a wanted png-size.
I'm pretty sure this will turn out to be a bad
idea, but please propose
the alternative sizes.
Well ... how many sizes do you want? And in which
size-range?
I guess: 4 different sizes from 200 upto 2000 ? (as now)
A quick look to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highly_composite_numbers shows:
120 2^3.3.5 16
180 2^2.3^2.5 18
240 2^4.3.5 20
360 2^3.3^2.5 24
720 2^4.3^2.5 30
840 2^3.3.5.7 32
1,260 2^2.3^2.5.7 36
1,680 2^4.3.5.7 40
2,520 2^3.3^2.5.7 48
Well, let me suggest: 180, 360, 720, 1680 (because smaller sizes probable will be used
more frequently). But I'm open to a different choice (or larger set).
Alle these sizes are divisible by 3 and many even by 9, but all only by 5 no by 25! But we
may bargin. ;)
Those templates usually request a fixed size, so not
related to
MediaWiki defaults.
Yes, but an "arbitrary" size, chosen from convinience
as the just discussed? ;-)
2 points are still open: "Allahu Akbar" is the correct wording not
'Alkmar Allah' as you copy from my mistakenly stated/chosen words. If you or
Valhallasw who (in the version-diff look apparently) do the change) tell me how
I could change this part of a file-description page in general, I will do it.
2nd point in a different email.
Thanks
