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renders badly you should take the issue upstream to rsvg authors (unless the problem is that wikimedia is using an outdated version).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 achim
