Unfortunately, this flag is wrong :) I'm from Trieste, and it's time to update it to the correct version.

it actually has WRONG colours! This is the actual flag waving in Trieste http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexsap/5848265439/ and you can clearly see the symbol in it is WHITE. I have created years ago the 100% correct SVG version, and I can upload it anytime.

How can it be updated, then?

(I'm fairly new to wikipedia)

I also SVGed the coat of arms (this one is unfortunately wrong, too!), which is this one http://www.languagesmeetsport.eu/images/common/logo_comune_ts.jpg confirmed at the bottom of the pace of the city council here http://www.retecivica.trieste.it and I'm willing to give this to wikipedia, too; I just don't know how to update the existing files.

They're all nice, I'm not sure which one I like more yet, but do think you can make the clock less pixely? That was my main consern. Here's the original Nuvola clock: [[Image:NuvolaStock apps clockalarm.pngsvg|25px]] and here's another original with a smaller clock: [[Image:Nuvola apps karm.png|40px]]. I'm not sure if it's possible, but can you use the boarder off one of these and make it red with the current clock face? See the first icon I posted - that's the smoothness I would like to see. Maybe I'm just being picky, so if this is too much work, then it's ok, the ones we have will do. Thanks. [[User:Rocket000|Rocket000]] 05:07, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

I have resized the clock you offered just above, and as you can see, it goes slightly pixely as well, when ever something is as small as that, there is so little room that's the effect it has. So if we were to convert the blue one to SVG, it would still give the same effect. <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"> > [[User:Rugby471|Rugby471]] ^{[[User_talk:Rugby471|talk]]}</span> <span style="font-size: 17pt;">&#9876;</span> 09:04, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

:Note: There's an updated version of the trajectory [http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/images/sept_07_trajec_hi.jpg here]. Since it's clearly been drawn in a vector graphics program, it might be worth e-mailing NASA to a) confirm that the image is PD, and b) ask for a vector version. —[[User:Ilmari Karonen|Ilmari Karonen]] <small>([[User talk:Ilmari Karonen|talk]])</small> 20:18, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

OK, I've asked NASA about the copyright status of the image, and whether a vector version is available, at their [http://www.nasa.gov/about/contact/ask_nasa_form.html website]. I'll let you know if I hear anything. --[[User:Slashme|Slashme]] 07:29, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Could someone please fix up this svg? I did it, but I'm unsure how to get these fonts right. Any advice on doing svg fonts properly is also very welcome on my talk page. Thanks.

'''Graphist opinion:'''

Unfortunately, as far as I know (which isn't a whole lot), in order to correct your text problems that arise in the preview of the above svg image, you'll have to convert the text to paths/outlines in order for them to stay in position. The downside to this is that the file size will approximately triple its original size. For instance, converting all of the text in the above .svg file will balloon the file size to 113 kb. If however, you use a different font (like Arial, something very basic without many extra curves/paths), file size can be reduced to around 90 kb. Here's some more info on text to paths: [[Wikipedia_talk:Graphic_Lab/Images_to_improve#Text to path]]. -- [[User:Kaboom88|Kaboom88]] 04:58, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Stop !! Don't convert them to paths, I recently discovered a way to embed the font face (eg Arial, Times New Roman) in the SVG file. One of the problems you have is that in Inkscape the font you choose doesn't show up the same on MediaWiki, however if you follow the steps below, they will look exactly the same in both instances.

Once you have created your SVG, make sure all text objects are text and not flowed text (to convert them, go to the '''Text''' menu and select '''Convert to text'''). Then, go to the '''Edit''' Menu and select '''XML Editor'''.

Navigate in the pane on the left to your text objects (they will be called '''<nowiki><svg:text id="</nowiki>''something''<nowiki>"></nowiki>''') and do the following for each text object :

'''1)''' Click on the text object in the left pane

'''2)''' Some attributes should now appear in the right pane, click on the '''style''' attribute

'''3)''' You can now edit the attribute in the right hand bottom corner, add to the end of the arguments (add to the box at the very bottom with things in like '''font-size:52pt''')

<code> ;font-family:Bitstream Vera Sans </code>

(with the semicolon in front)

'''4)''' Once you have done this, remember to click the '''Set''' button, otherwise it won't save the changes

Do this for every one and save your file and now (if Media Wiki has that font installed) it should display properly

Phew !

::This was one of my older ones: I don't think I quite did it before MediaWiki started supporting SVG, but I'm sure I did it before I was experienced enough with Inkscape and MediaWiki to get them render right, so what I did back then was upload the PNG here and put the original SVG on my own website, linking to it from the image description. Anyway, I just cleaned up the SVG original, uploaded it to Commons as [[:Image:Aquarium Nitrogen Cycle.svg]] and marked the PNG as superseded. Compared to your version, it does look rather dark, though... I think I'll see if I can tweak the colors a little later. —[[User:Ilmari Karonen|Ilmari Karonen]] <small>([[User talk:Ilmari Karonen|talk]])</small> 12:28, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

:::I tried embedding the fonts as well (though it's a bit different with Illustrator), but it increased the file size as well. I think what Shandris did was the best in-between solution, that is, just convert the formulas to paths, and leave the rest as text. If you do that with [[:Image:Aquarium Nitrogen Cycle.svg]}, the file size jumped to around 30 kb, and as you can tell, with [[:Image:Aquarium Nitrogen CycleZP.svg]], the file size jumped to around 60 kb. That being said, I think that if you were concerned about file size, there are other things with the image that you could do to fix that as well. -- [[User:Kaboom88|Kaboom88]] 00:10, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I use Illustrator. I still don't get the font problem. Is it because the svg support only includes basic fonts? So if I use plain ones like Times New Roman and Arial, it should be fine, right? [[User:XcepticZP|XcepticZP]] 14:04, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I also use basic fonts, but in Inkscape (the editor most people around here use) it doesn't seem to work like that. <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family: Monotype Corsiva;"> > [[User:Rugby471|Rugby471]] ^{[[User_talk:Rugby471|talk]]}</span> <span style="font-size: 17pt;">&#9876;</span> 18:07, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

:Sigh, at least if we knew what the actual problem was? That way, we'd at least know how to avoid it. Has anyone figured it out yet? Thanks for the input, you guys :) [[User:XcepticZP|XcepticZP]] 18:21, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
