I tried measuring but... (well, in the beginning I thought I was in a metric location and was trying numbers around 10000! No wonder that it didn't work;-) So it's something like the scale dependent rendering (?) Anyhow, I think having some auto-estimation of viewable fonts in v.label.sa would be a starter value from which one can increase/decrease the font size in order to get the desired font size. _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
