File:Circuit Nürburgring-2002-GP.svg

Nice graphic, although I notice from the document history that it went through many changes due to text and font issues. The image now uses Liberation Sans. Consider using the specification font-family:'Helvetica,Arial'; for SVG images. It seems to work best in most cases and doesn't cause problems with Wikimedia's rather poor SVG rendering engine. Moreover, if someone edits an SVG image on a Microsoft Windows system or Apple Mac system, they're more likely to have Helvetica or Arial installed than Liberation Sans. This can be easily adjusted in the SVG file with an ordinary text editor program. — QuicksilverT @ 17:40, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

I've used Helvetica before (I'm Mac/Win-user too), but the Wikimedia render engine generate only poor results, so I followed the recommendations of the SVG-FAQs and install the free font family Liberation. By the way, in the articles only PNG (yes, rendered SVG) are shown, isn't it? Regards ––Pitlane02 talk 19:05, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
Correct, only PNG images are shown, so even users whose browsers can't display SVG images will still see an image in the proper size. — QuicksilverT @ 02:45, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Circuit Sochi.svg

Hi, Just wanted to let you know about a small issue with Circuit Sochi.svg, since I think you are the creator of the file. Currently, there are two small turns missing from the diagram, unless you didn't include them on purpose:

  • between turns 5 and 6
  • between turns 7 and 8

So the total number of turns would be 18 instead of 16.

Anyway, thanks for your work, a nice diagram as it is. C1010 (talk) 03:18, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
