Use SVG for the default wallpaper  
Written by DPic the 18 Mar 08 at 16:57. Global category: Look and Feel. New
Why is the current default desktop background of Hardy the png version of an image whose svg version is smaller? We should be trying to use vector graphics instead of raster as much as possible.

Render "large" SVGs to fit in the browser, like PNGs do  
Written by Warbo the 28 Aug 08 at 05:13. Related project: Epiphany. New
When a gecko-based browser opens a PNG which is too big for the window it can be shrunk to fit, with successive clicks on the image changing the size from normal to fitted.

SVG is meant to be size and resolution independent but it can't be done with SVG at the moment. SVGs with large default dimensions are currently annoying to view (for example http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/77/Unix_history-simple.svg ).

Solution #1: Resize-to-fit-window like PNGs
Written by Warbo the 28 Aug 08 at 05:13.
Implementation in a click-to-change-zoom way would be difficult for interactive SVGs, hence I think always rendering to fit in the browser window is best, unless they specify a physical (ie. mm, inches, etc.) size.

PS: I'd say the question of scaling up SVGs designed to be small is out of scope for this idea. I think SVGs with dimensions smaller than the browser window should rendered with those dimensions.

instalable .sfd, .ttx and .svg typefaces (fonts)  
Written by nitrofurano the 6 Sep 08 at 23:37. Global category: System. New
Beyond type1, truetype and opentype, text-based typefaces formats like .sfd, .ttx and .svg could be installable as well - these typefaces formats has the advantage on being text-editable. Just like .xpm for pictures and .svg for drawings.
