Reader feedback extension is generating bad png graphs (svg is fine). Letters are replaced with boxes, and there is no graph lines. This is only for some png graphs. (sorry this is not the greatest bug report, but the problem seems random to me).
This has been there for months but there seems to be no reason why the MW core SVG renderer fails to make the pngs to svgs. The SVGs are fine and the syntax is valid (1.1).
I look at those graphs every so often. This is a new issue.
Hmm, now it appears to have gone away. Perhaps it was a one-time issue
Ignore my last comment, It is still present, just only on the longer term graphs (it appears). It appears to be a problem with how the extension calls the svg renderer. Compare: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikinews/en/graphs/3/reliability/l1095d.png (reliability graph last 3 months as png generated by extension) and https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikinews/en/wiki/File:Reliabality-wn-main_page.svg (svg reliability graph, uploaded to wikinews, and turned into a png via the normal svg image renderer). The two images are very different.
Core/extensions both call $svgHandler->rasterize( $srcPath, $dstPath, $physicalWidth, $physicalHeight );
I looking into xml namespace issues as a possibility. Uploaded files have some stripping that takes place on upload.

The good png image (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikinews/en/wiki/File:Reliabality-wn-main_page.svg) is a thumbnail that goes through the 404 handler, thumb-handler.php, and thumb.php on the image scaling cluster. The bad one is rendered on the main boxes. Imagemagik may have different versions/constrains/settings on them.
Gah, rsvg not imagemagick
I can't seem to get a graph out of https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ARatingHistory&target=Main_Page&period=1095 anymore. Is that functionality no longer supported ?
