Category:Diagrams of cyclist dismount signs

[edit]

I added in a diagram category for cyclist dismount signs, so you don't have to worry about it. So whenever this category gets deleted, just re-add it in you like. VenderofSignSprees (talk) 19:35, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Irish combination signs

[edit]

Hi there. Not to be terribly rude, but your dimensions for the supplementary plates in relation to the warning diamond for files such as File:IE road sign W-170+P-069.svg and File:IE road sign W-134+P-066.svg are incorrect. The working drawings should include the correct dimensions. Fry1989 eh? 14:27, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fry. Indeed I did think that they were much too large. However no working drawings for the plates exist, and I was going by the only 2-line plates there are (P-010 and P-080, though these are for regulatory signs). What I hadn't noticed is that the x-height differs for plates. For these two signs I have used an x-height of 75, going by x-heights on other plates I believe 62.5 is suitable but I find 50 much too small. Perhaps you could experiment yourself before I make any changes to be sure. EthanL13 (talk) 16:48, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just so you know: I've followed through on all the deletions, redirects and restoration of history. This took about an hour. If possible, in the future, if you are planning ultimately to create SVGs and would want to get rid of the PNGs, you might skip the PNGs.

Also, I noticed that a lot of "other versions" info you had in the PNGs did not end up on your SVGs. For example, have a look at https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:IE_TSM_Ch_4_Fig_4.2.11_c.png&oldid=828700459 vs. File:IE Entering a Gaeltacht Area Sign (with name, blue).svg. You might want to transfer that information to the SVG file pages. - Jmabel ! talk 03:06, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jmabel Thanks a lot, it is very much appreciated. However, as you may or may not have seen, the PNGs were uploaded some time before the SVGs, due to me not being familiar with Inkscape at the time.
As for the other versions information, I intend to do that soon. Thanks for letting me know.

School street sing in Austria

[edit]

Hi EthanL13, I saw that you did some work in the past on Austrian traffic signs. We have a new feature in Austrian traffic law, the "School street", where you can find the sign here (rather at the end, #26a). Unfortunately this official source has a quite bad quality, maybe you can find a better one. I guess my photograph of a real sign does not help much either :-/. Still, maybe you can create a usable SVG version? Thanks in advance --Reinhard Müller (talk) 16:00, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Reinhard Müller ✓ Done File:Hinweiszeichen 26a.svg. EthanL13 | talk 18:00, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, you rock! Thank you very much!! --Reinhard Müller (talk) 18:09, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DVSP font?

[edit]

Hi Ethan,

I've noticed you edited the https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Denmark_road_sign_E55.svg and I just wanted to ask where you found the DVSP font? I'd like to learn Inkscape and vector graphics and was trying to make a sign for Brønde in Orø. Opspin (talk) 10:49, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Opspin. The font was once available on the Danish Road Directorate's website, which is where I downloaded it from. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be available there anymore. EthanL13 | talk 12:25, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
