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.

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.
